…so I’m on vacation…in Yonkers...kind of from work, yet I’ve already stopped by my job twice, & have a meeting tomorrow….but still it’s a vacation nonetheless, filled with homework, studying, & preparations for an epic dinner party happening this upcoming Saturday evening…so besides filling myself with endless coffee (French press, espresso, Turkish, iced & everything in between!), & trying to enjoy some of my time off, at some point I find myself cooking…needing something quick & easy to make in between the busyness, I happened upon one of my favorite & simplest dishes to prepare…get ready…it takes no time at all & tastes so ridiculously fantastic I would swear how awesome it is on my life…so here goes…
fire up a frying pan with a few generous splashes of olive oil…
throw in ½ cup chopped yellow onion, 1 large sweet potato, peeled & chopped into small cubes…generously season with coarse sea salt & fresh ground black peppercorn…choose your favorite protein or even tofu…I like to use 1 small chicken breast, cleaned & cut up into teany pieces…& finally add I cup of cooked (brown!) rice…feverishly stir it up & the result is tasty, nourishing, & even kind of healthy…welcome additions would be a handful of peas, or even raisins...sometimes simple is better…it’s true…get into it…
i'll get into you.
