Tonight I made a yummy dinner that was easy as well: good ol' stir-fries. Now I know that everybody and her brother knows how to make stir-fries, but this was a particularly good batch.
1) I heated up about a tbsp of olive oil
2) Added cut up veggies: broccoli, zuccini and carrots at first, then cabbage, green, red and white onions, garlic, yellow pepper (a great way to use up those slightly wilted peppers), then at the end so they still stay crunchy, sugar snap peas (a little pricey, granted, but if you only buy a small amount for stir-fry, they're not too bad and they do add a delicious crunch).
3) Stirred until almost done; added about a cup of cooked brown rice and half a can of black beans, and voila! dinner is served. (For those of you who might not know this little tidbit, beans and rice make a complete protein when served together.) I seasoned it with Trader Joe's Island soyaki: delicious.
I topped off the dinner with chocolate yogurt: a few squares of chocolate melted and mixed w yogurt.
I was grateful to have an easy dinner to fix as I'd spent the entire day in the basement (minus an hour's freezing walk with Dad) pulling out the old insulation (and accompanying debris), putting in new and then cleaning up the colossal mess. It looks great now, and it's nice to know that as much as possible I've closed off any snake holes (not to mention breeze holes).
