I had some left over spaghetti noodles. Not enough for a meal but I was hungry. I melted some butter. Added some finely minced onion, a can of mushrooms, pepper and salt, garlic along with some olive oil. Cooked it down for 4-5 minutes. While it cooked I got some broccoli - too limp for the kids to eat raw but good enough for me. Added the cold noodles and tossed them in the butter etc. Added the broccoli tossed and popped on the kid. Five minutes later. Lunch! Yummy.
It could easily be made vegan with all olive oil and no butter. It was really satisfying and filling and quick. Some times I don't have time to or I forget to eat. Even more so with another illness going through the house [first DS, then DD, then DH...so far it hasn't gotten me] and I am hungry but by then I have low blood sugar. I get the shakes, sweat, my head hurts, I feel weak and think I might barf. So quick meals really help.
