🥦🧅🫑Last night, we cleaned out the produce 🥦🧅🫑Last night, we cleaned out the produce drawer in our fridge and whipped up big bowl of stir-fried veggies for dinner. 

To make this dish, I just browned some chopped garlic and ginger in a teaspoon of sesame oil. 

Then, I added a whole bunch of raw vegetables that I’d cut into 1” pieces. 

When the veggies were cooked through, I added a sauce and stirred to coat. I served the vegetable stir-fry with half a cup of cooked brown rice (that I had in the freezer). It was delish, and no produce went to waste this week! 

For the sauce, mix:
- 1/2 c vegetable broth
- 1 Tbsp Mirin 
- 2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper
- 1 Tbsp honey (or Swerve brown sugar)
- 1 tsp fresh ginger 
- 1 tsp fresh garlic 
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch 

What do you like to put in stir-fry?

🥦🥕🧅🫑 Here’s a quick and healthy dinn 🥦🥕🧅🫑 Here’s a quick and healthy dinner at home idea. Last week, I was trying to get through all of our fresh produce before we left Pawhuska. 

For a quick and healthy dinner, I chopped a whole bunch of veggies into tiny pieces and cooked them in my @ourplace Always Pan with just a tablespoon of olive oil. 

I added my favorite Greek seasoning and some black pepper to the mix. Once the veggies, starting to get tender, I added just half a cup of cooked couscous, lentils, orzo, and quinoa I had left over in the fridge.

It made a great side dish served with grilled shrimp (for Ann) and grilled pork chops (for Steve) and steamed broccoli. 🥦And, we got lots of nutritious veggies into our meal. 

What do you make with leftover veggies?
