New Side Dish Recipe

I wanted something "Asian" to go with our coconut chicken dish so I came up with this mixture of veggies and seasoning. It was delicious even to Dave so I thought I would share . . .

Asian Stir Fry Veggies

½ a stick of butter

3 large carrots cut into thin slices

½ a head of broccoli cut into small pieces

1 zucchini cut into thin slices

1 clove of garlic, minced

½ to 1 tbs of minced onion

Basil and black pepper to taste

Liquid amino (about 1/8 cup)

2 cobs of cooked corn cut off the cob

½ cup of cooked peas

Melt 1 tbs of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic and onion and sauté until soft and starting to brown. Then add broccoli, carrots, and some of the amino. Cook until tender and adding butter to keep the pan moist. May also cover with a lid and add a tad of water to help soften. Then add the rest of the veggies and more amino. Sprinkle with pepper and basil. Continue to sauté until all veggies are done.

Review of Last Week's Menu

The good morning granola was excellent with So Delicious coconut milk beverage - definitely a repeat! The honey orange french toast was good. We weren't crazy about the crumb topped tilapia or the honey baked chicken. They were both just okay as was the strawberry tapioca. The green papaya pudding was not good. Hope this helps some of you looking for new recipes :)
