Tonights Dinner and Tommorow's lunch

This is a new thing I am going to do on the blog.  Every time I cook I am going to show you all the recipe that I made.  tonight's dinner was a vegan fried rice, and it was inspired by the recipe on the forks over knives website. 

• 1 carrot, diced
• 1 medium red onion diced
• 2 stalks of celery diced
• 3-4 cups cooked organic brown rice
• 1/4 cup of spring or filtered water
• 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
• 1/8 cup chopped parsley or sliced green onions
• sea salt

I used tap water.  Next time I am going to use a low sodium veggie broth. 
Instructions:

In a cast iron skillet over a medium to high flame, add half the water, celery, carrot and onion.
Sprinkle with sea salt and sauté 2-3 minutes.  (When this mirepoix is cooking the house smells amazing!)  

Spoon cooked rice evenly over vegetable mixture to cover, and sprinkle with the soy sauce and water.

Cover with a lid, turn flame to low and cook for 10 minutes.

When done, gently stir the vegetables and beans on the bottom into the rice.

Top with garnished parsley or green onions.  This time I actually just cooked the green onions in with the rice, it added a touch of sweetness for some reason, and this dish turned out delicious. 

I also made to much brown rice, so tomorrow's breakfast is gonna be a brown rice, black bean, and  salsa I guess hash would be the word for it, but I'm just gonna put it all in a skillet stir it together, and heat until hot.  It's gonna be great.

My weigh in post will be later on tonight.  I've been busy with house and school work, plus work work has decided today was answer email day.
