cooking with what I have: Ham, veggies and rice

I tried something new, easy, and quick yesterday. It turned out pretty great, so I am sharing.

Ham, veggies, and rice
I took some precooked ham and diced it into 1/4 in pieces. then started cooking it in a frying pan. I decided I needed some veggies so I took a bag of mixed veggies from the fridge (and since I am only cooking for two) I added part of that bag of veggies. I added about 1/4-1/2 a cup of water and let it cook stirring occasionally.
While that was cooking I had rice cooking in a big pot on the stove, using my "quick tip" from the post before I cooked enough rice to make a couple meals from it. saving me time today, so I can write this :)

I let the veggies and ham cook til they were hot and then put them over rice. salt, pepper and other seasonings are optional. I added a bit of salt and pepper to mine, my husband didn't. so it's up to you and your tastes :)
You could also add soy sauce or make it more of a stir fry. I'm just cooking with what I have, so you do the same. You'd be surprised at the delicious things you can come up with.

Til next time, do something that makes you truly happy today :)
