Odds 'n Ends

March 11, 2019 12:30 PM

We just forget to take multiple pictures of the meals we make. Or I'm stuck by myself and have to take a picture with my phone.

Root Vegetable Hash Egg Skillet from Naturally Ella

I didn't know how to make 4 holes for the eggs, so I made an X.

I totally forgot about this in my last Odds 'n Ends post! I had a turnip and I had no idea how to use it, but I saw an egg hash recipe, and I love egg hash. We added bacon and crumbled feta cheese on top which added some extra flavor. All of the turnip recipes I looked at used it like a potato, but I must say, it tastes nothing like a potato.

Lemon Garlic Asparagus Pasta from Budget Bytes

Yeah, I really should have made the asparagus more visible in this.

We needed a really quick meal for a Friday night since we had plans to play a game with our cousins. I almost said that we should just get food from a local restaurant, but making pasta is cheaper and faster. I had these really dinky looking asparagus from Aldi, so I didn't even bother steaming them, and I just sauteed them for a couple of minutes. I also added mushrooms, which you really can't see in the picture either.

Yellow Rice Chicken Skillet from Budget Bytes

I attempted to take this picture with my phone, in front of the window.

This might actually be the very first recipe I ever tried from Budget Bytes. It was delicious the first time I made it, and it's become one of my really simple go to meals. This is the first time I made it with bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, though. I normally buy boneless, skinless because I'm lazy, but I'm trying to save money so I'm buying whatever meat is on sale. These chicken thighs were only $0.69/lb!
