One of my favorite recipes to make is a quick and easy egg scramble. All you need are eggs, cheese, and a few vegetables. Start by whisking together the eggs in a bowl. Then add in your favorite vegetables. I like to use bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Once the vegetables are cooked, add in the cheese and stir until melted. Then pour the egg mixture into a hot skillet and cook. Serve with toast and you have a delicious breakfast!
Another easy recipe is a veggie stir fry. Start by heating a pan with oil and adding in your favorite vegetables. I like to use bell peppers, carrots, and broccoli. Cook the vegetables until tender, then add in some cooked meat or fish. I like to use shrimp or chicken. Once the meat is cooked, add in some soy sauce and serve with a side of rice.
Tasty Sweets
If you’re in the mood for something sweet, you can whip up a delicious treat with ingredients you already have in your fridge. For a quick and easy dessert, try making a fruit crisp. Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees. Spread your favorite fruits in a baking dish, then mix together butter, flour, sugar, and oats in a bowl. Sprinkle the mixture over the fruit and bake for about 30 minutes. Serve with a scoop of ice cream and you have a delicious dessert!
You can also make a delicious smoothie bowl. Start by blending together frozen bananas, coconut milk, and your favorite fruits. Then pour the mixture into a bowl and top with granola, nuts, and seeds. Add a drizzle of honey and you have a delicious breakfast or snack!
