Leftovers fried rice

The kids and I enjoyed a super easy, quick and delicious lunch before we left to go swimming. This fried rice recipe used up our leftovers from dinner and breakfast consisting of white rice, soy sauce, garlic salt, peas, spam and scrambled eggs.

The trick is to use leftover rice, not fresh rice. Refrigerated rice is best so it’s dry.

Try our recipe! 
1. Heat olive oil in nonstick pan. I used enough to cover half of bottom of the pan and spread it around once it was warm.
2. Add about a tablespoon of minced garlic from a jar.
3. Crumble refrigerated rice into the pan. We had about 2.5 cups of cooked rice.
4. Pour about 1/4 cup of soy sauce on top of the rice.
5. Add garlic salt and pepper to taste. Stir until rice is heated through. 
6. Set rice aside in a bowl or serving dish
7. Reheat previously cooked spam, eggs and peas in the pan. Remove from pan and spread over rice in serving dish. 

Enjoy!

Come on summer!

The kids and I couldn’t wait. As soon as the weather hit 70 we hit the pool. Fridays in summer are way better at the pool!

We don’t have one by the way. We are lucky to have found a members only pool. For the price of monthly pool service, we get to use this pool every day, even in winters when it gets to 90. Starting on Memorial Day to Labor day they have a lifeguard so this mom can actually swim with the kids too and not just be a mommy lifeguard.

Tips for large families: See those towels? They’re color coded, of course. There’s no confusion as to whose towel it is so there’s less fighting over them. In summer they are great since microfiber dries fast. No matter how many times they’re in and out, they always get a dry towel. Bonus points for the built in loops and snaps to keep them from flying away.

Looking forward to more pool days once school is out.
