Leftover food

Since finances have run tight, since last year I have made promises to myself to not waste as much food. Today's lunch was made with that idea in mind. Veggie pinto scramble 1/2 avocado 1 clove garlic (or garlic powder) Mixed veggie puree Two eggs 1/2 can pinto beans 2 tablespoons chopped frozen spinach One cup rice (I used basmati rice with cumin seeds added) Teaspoon smoked paprika One teaspoon garam masala One tablespoon coconut oil Throw rice in rice cooker. Add coconut oil in small skillet. Add diced clove of garlic and frozen spinach. After a minute, add eggs and scramble them. (I either scramble before adding to skillet or after adding.) Add spices before adding puree and beans. Beans should be added last. Let cook for one more minute. Grab avocado and cut in half. Cut into "pretty" slices and serve with scramble and rice.
