Vegetable Fried Rice

 I am going through a phase now where I just absolutely must have vegetable daily. Which is a great thing for me since summer is coming. The latest craving had me chopping up a bunch of fresh french beans I have in the fridge with half a large red bell pepper for a simple vegetable fried rice. Since I have some leftover rice pilaf from supper the night before, I have decided to recycle the rice pilaf instead of making some plain rice. It was absolutely delicious and I am planning on making this over and over again till the craving is gone. Meanwhile, bring on the greens!
