Chicken Fried Rice

My family is in a season of life where we hardly ever eat a meal in a restaurant. I don’t even know what the cool places are anymore. Is anybody feeling me on this?!

We have two small children, and household expenses are as tight as ever. So we avoid restaurants for practical reasons.
