Wondering what to do with those six cups of rice you made last night, of which you have about four cups left? Need to put together dinner -quickly- for a hungry family? Enter fried rice. While the recipe below calls for specific meats and vegetables, you should absolutely experiment with the left over veggies and meats that you find in your fridge. This is definitely the ultimate “left-over” dish!

Note that this dish has been modified to be gluten, dairy and soy-free.

caprese [ratings]

This Neapolitan summer dish is perfect on a warm day and has to be one of the easiest dishes you’ll ever make. It’s at its best when made with flavorful vine-ripened tomatoes, young basil (small leaves!) and fresh mozzarella. You’ll be amazed at how deliciously simple and tasty this dish is. On hot summer days you’ll find us eating insalata Caprese in a shady spot in the yard with some fresh crunchy bread and a cool drink. Thank you Capri for this wonderful dish!

Spaghetti Bolognese[ratings]

Spaghetti Bolognese is one of my personal favorites! This sauce is bursting with flavor, and is a perfect combination of meats and vegetables over pasta. This dish is an improvisation based on a spaghetti Bolognese recipe I learned from my mother. Highly recommended on a chilly day.
