Ham & Potato Breakfast Skillet

This is so fast, easy, cost-effective, and delicious... had to share it! Copy cat of Village Inn's breakfast skillets!

Ham and Potato Breakfast Skillet
6 potatoes
2 Tbsp butter
6 eggs
1 lb ham, chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
1 Tbsp minced onions
Seasoning salt, to taste
Salt & Pepper, to taste

In a large pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Dice the potatoes and cook them in the butter until golden brown, stirring frequently. Season with minced onions, seasoning salt, and salt and pepper.

Keep the heat on and stir in eggs. When the eggs are all cooked, throw in the ham. Dump the can of tomatoes with green chilies, mix in the cheese, and stir it all together till the cheese is all melted.

It does not take long and this meal will feed a lot of people for a lot of happy tummies! :)

Side note- try it with other kinds of meats too! I bet bacon or sausage would be delicious!

Homemade Rumbi Rice Bowls

This turned out great. Healthy, filling, delicious, and much cheaper than eating out at one of our favorite restaurants- Rumbi Island Grill! :) I'm excited about this new recipe! It tastes quite a bit like the restaurant version! I got the inspiration from Favorite Family Recipes. Mine's just a little easier :) Hope you like it!

Rumbi Rice
2 cups uncooked white rice
1 can coconut milk
2 1/2 cups water
1/2 Tbsp sugar
Vegetable oil
1 can red beans

Line the bottom of a large pot with oil. Stir fry the rice until it's coated and sizzling. Add the coconut milk, water, and sugar. Cover and cook until all the liquid is absorbed. Immediately remove from heat and stir in the red beans.

Teriyaki Sauce
1/2 C soy sauce
1/2 C brown sugar
1/2 tsp ginger

Stir till sugar dissolves

Chicken and vegetables
1-2 lbs chicken breast
1 pkg frozen chopped veggies (I used broccoli stir fry)
Vegetable oil
Teriyaki Sauce (recipe above)

Cut the chicken into small pieces and cook with oil on a frying pan. When the chicken is cooked tender (easy to cut into), drizzle half of the teriyaki sauce on it and stir fry for a few minutes. Add the vegetables and stir in the rest of the teriyaki sauce. Cover and let simmer till the vegetables are thawed. Stir fry till they're cooked through. Remove from heat.

Combine the chicken and veggies with the Rumbi rice, and enjoy!
