Quick Fried Rice & Pizza Recipes | No Excuses #1 Vegan Family Meals

,

I have a very down to earth approach to vegan life because I know how difficult it can be to change habits (especially when you go your whole life eating eggs, meat & dairy). Also, I tend to be lazy when it comes to cooking.

Yeah, I have a food blog but I have very lazy cooking days (sometimes weeks).

Life happens and we often get busy with work, family & watching Netflix (I know this life lol).

I just started a new series called No Excuses on my YouTube channel to help with meal planning on those busy days.

Dinner in 15 Minutes? Yes! Fried Rice

A few months ago I came up with this familiar recipe (AKA Chinese fried rice) while trying to figure out what to do with the leftover rice in our refrigerator. 

I always use my rice cooker and jasmine rice to make this recipe.  I don't think the type of rice you use matters as much as making sure that you use cold rice.  I tried it once with warm rice and it came out very mushy.

This meal is perfect for a quick weekday dinner.

If you try it, let me know what you think.
