Weight Watcher's fried rice is a lighter version of the classic, and uses cooking spray instead of oil to make it lighter. The soy sauce gives it it's flavor. Add in some shrimp or chicken for protein.
All day long, there has been this sharp dull pain in my tooth that keeps on coming back. It would go away for an hour, and then come back and ibu profen has not helped the pain at all. The only thing that does help is a frozen pack of vegetables against my mouth and that is what I was doing at my desk all day long. Thankfully there's a grocery store by us where we can get a frozen pack of vegetables. I had to get some for this fried rice. It almost feels like the pain is coming from where I had a cavity filled the last time. If it continues tomorrow, I'm calling the dentist. Hoping to god they don't say I need a root canal or anything. Tooth pain sucks.
There was some leftover rice in my fridge from making chicken cheese casserole the other night so I decided to make some fried rice. If you have leftover rice and use frozen vegetables this dish comes together in no time at all. Super quick and easy week night meal. Just add some shrimp or some chicken for extra protein!
