This is a light, easy supper that I love to make, depending what I have on hand. My favorite combo is this one with broccoli, baby spinach, bell peppers, and peas. But I have also made it with other vegetables, sometimes broccollini instead of broccoli, Swiss chard instead of spinach, or other subs like asparagus, shredded carrots, bok choy, or Chinese snow peas, so you see it’s just a great way to get a variety of cooked vegetables in one meal. But I always use at least four different veggies.
Cold cooked rice works best so I usually cook the rice the day before, and refrigerate it overnight. Mostly I use Uncle Ben’s converted rice but I have also made it with brown rice. Either way, if your rice is cooked in advance, this is a super-quick meal. Be sure to have everything ready before you start because a stir-fry means you don’t leave the pan once you start and it cooks in less than 10 minutes! So chop everything first and have everything in place before starting. Click here for the recipe. – Jenny Jones
I saw this in USA Today and thought it was worth sharing. Here are five foods they say are known to cause cancer: 1. Processed meats like hot dogs, bacon, ham, and sausages. Limit your intake. 2. Highly salted foods like pickles. A high intake is linked to stomach cancer. Less is better than more. 3. Alcohol. It can raise your risk of mouth, colorectal & breast cancer. Limit intake to one drink a day for women, two for men. 4. Charred meat. High heat + meat = DNA-damaging compounds. Cook at lower temperatures and flip meat frequently to avoid charring. 5. Scalding hot beverages. Routinely drinking very hot tea, coffee, or soup is linked to a greater risk of esophageal cancer.
With over 300,000 views every week between my website and youtube, from 200 different countries, I simply can’t to keep up with the growing number of questions. I never expected this when I started sharing my recipes and I want this to be the best experience for everyone but it’s become overwhelming.
I am a one-man operation, doing the best I can, but here is the reality: If I don’t get to 25 questions in one day, the next day it’s 50. Another couple of busy days and it’s 100 and by then I can’t catch up. I need time to work on my recipes, take the pictures, perfect the details, and share what I love. I also need time to focus on my philanthropy.
It’s wonderful to see how popular my recipes have become and I want to always be there but it’s become impossible and that makes me sad. This is my creation. I take a lot of pride in it and want it to be perfect so please know I am doing the best I can. I hope everyone understands and there are ways you can help:
Understand if I am not able to answer your questions.
Please do not ask a question that you can research online.
Please do not ask about changing my recipe as I only make them the way I post them.
If a recipe didn’t turn out, please look at the FAQs before asking what went wrong.
Please continue to share your helpful comments, especially if you’ve tried something different with one of my recipes and it turned out well. That’s helpful to all of us.
My sincere thanks to everyone who jumps in to answer questions to help out. – Jenny Jones
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Caesar salad! Now I don’t have to go to a fancy restaurant to get a classic Caesar salad. It was always a mystery to me because I thought I had to use whole anchovies but for me, anchovy paste is perfect and it’s also easy to use. It takes just minutes to make this dressing but you need the right ingredients. You just shake it all up in a jar and it’s done.
Traditional Caesar salad is made with romaine lettuce and for me, hearts of romaine make the best presentation, not to mention homemade croutons. I usually make croutons with slices of my faster no knead bread and my recipe is super easy too. Click here to see how to make homemade croutons.
I encourage everyone to eat a salad every day and now you can make one of those salads a classic Caesar. Click here for the recipe. – Jenny Jones

ESTHER MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD “I made artisan bread thanks to you Jenny! I am Esther R. Scott from Monongahela, Pa. (outskirts of Pittsburgh.) I just happened to find your channel and I am so glad that I did! It’s awesome. I used to love watching your show. I miss it. I watched you bake bread in a Dutch Oven and tried it myself. It came out so nice! And I am not what you would call a true baker. Lol. I put it in a springform pan with aluminum foil on top for a while. Here are the pics and thank you very much.”

~ I love these cookies too. Thanks for the storage tip. ~ jenny“I tried your Whole Wheat Choc. Brownie recipe today.. Wow! The taste is so gratifying!

LENORA MADE MY FASTER NO KNEAD BREAD “Hi Jen, I left a comment under Lenora Collins on your YouTube channel for the Faster No Knead Easy Bread. Honestly, I only had two cups of sad bread flour crumpled up in the original packaging just hanging around from a few months ago. I kind of had to guesstimate the other ingredients based on your recipe since I was using one cup less flour. You can read in my YouTube comment that I had absolutely no confidence or real idea what I was doing. I just tried to follow the recipe as close as possible. I think my mess ended up being so successful because I used your methodology and tools. Oh, except I didn’t have parchment paper, but there was no way I could’ve just plopped the dough on the surface of the 450 degree preheated Dutch oven, so I placed it on a square of aluminum foil placed at the bottom of the Dutch oven. Enclosed you can see how my “mess” turned out. No lie – I was impressed with myself. Thank you for all of your efforts in testing these recipes so they turn out AMAZING every time. Have a Happy New Year!!
~ I just made a loaf this morning and now I’m making croutons with it too. ~ jenny
DAVE MADE MY FASTER NO KNEAD BREAD “Hi Jenny – thank you for the great recipe and video! I absolutely love cooking, but artisan bread seemed so complicated. I have recently decided to make a sourdough starter but didn’t want to wait for it to be ready, so I gave your recipe a try. I followed your instructions and all was well. The dough was definitely “looser” than I am used to working with, but I used my scraper and it was fine. Check out my first loaf (good thing I took a quick picture, because it didn’t last long!). Look at that wonderful crumb! And the crust… oh. my. goodness. It was easy and fun, and I will be making this regularly (I hear someone cutting another piece of as I write this!). Thanks again, Dave.”
~ I have the same problem here – I turn my back on the bread and it’s gone! ~ jenny
VISHWAS MADE MY FALL-OFF-THE-BONE RIBS “Jenny, I came across your video when looking for ribs recipes and it left my mouth watering. I’m not much of a cook but I followed your instructions step by step and made the most delicious ribs I have ever tasted. I used a little more chili and added a bit habanero which made it HOT .. just the way I love it. Here they are right after I took them out of the oven. Thank you!!”
~ You prove that even inexperienced cooks can make these ribs. Even with your adjustments, they turned out great. ~ jenny
JANE MADE MY SIMPLE WHOLE WHEAT BREAD “Jenny, thank you so much for your simple whole wheat bread recipe. I have not bought store bread since last fall when I tried your simple, no fail recipe! I give it as gifts to my friends and family who are soooo thankful. Jane.”
