So this is something I did for #MeatlessMonday.... I'm just now posting it. :)  I actually made this out of leftovers. :)


1 can cream of celery soup and one can water
1/3 cup corn
1/4 cup cream
1/2 cup cooked rice
season with pepper and salt
warm on stove :)
it was actually creamed corn that I added but there ya go :) This is super easy, it only takes about 10 minutes and feeds up to 3 people. :)

Papaya!!!

              Papayas are a rich sources of antioxidant nutrients such as vitamin C, B, & E vitamins,  potassium, copper, magnesium, and fiber. These nutrients promote the health of the cardiovascular system and also provide protection against colon cancer. 
              Papaya contains several unique protein-digesting enzymes including papain and chymopapain. These enzymes have been shown to help lower inflammation and to improve healing from burns. In addition, the antioxidant nutrients found in papay are also great for reducing inflammation!

Made Papaya Lemon fruit tarts!

 

Fruit tart crust

1/2 cup powdered sugar

For the crust: In a food processor, combine the powdered sugar, flour, and butter, and process until the mixture forms a ball. With your fingers, press the dough into a tart pan.... or two :) depending on what size you want, taking care to push the crust into the indentations in the sides. Pat until the crust is even. Bake for 10 minutes, until very lightly browned. Set aside to cool.

Steamed eggs and Rice (Gyeran Jjim)

Savory Korean-style steamed eggs are a real delicacy at any meal.:D Gyeran Jjim (Steamed Eggs) consists of eggs, water, milk(or just water) something salty( I used salt) and a side or two.

Ingrediants
 2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup milk (skim or 2%)
optional... ketchup

Instructions
          whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and water until foamy. Pour into a heat safe ceramic bowl, such as a ramekin. Place the bowl in a pan. Fill the pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the bowl. Cover the pan with a clear glass lid. Cook over low-medium heat for 20 minutes, making sure the water stays at a simmer, or until the eggs are set. They should be firm but jiggly and have the consistency of custard. Remove ramekin and put desired topping on. Serve with a side of rice and your favorite Kimchi. :).... Or just rice.

Variations
substitute water and salt for some sort of broth (beef, miso, chicken, or other )
optional toppings---- ideas include, scallions, fried mushrooms, toasted sesame seeds, red curry paste(just a tiny bit) ground ginger, red pepper, kimchi, etc.
