I made a big pan of stir-fry, one of my favorite anytime recipes. I keep a few different bags of frozen vegetables in my freezer at all times so that I can have a veggie-packed dinner even if I haven't been shopping recently. If possible, I'll mix some fresh veggies in too for a little crispness and fresh taste. Tonight's stir-fry was a combo of:
1. Bird's Eye Frozen Bell Peppers and Onions - I love this combination! It is so great to have on hand, especially when bell peppers are out of season and can be really expensive. Frozen onions can occasionally have a funny flavor, but in something like a stir-fry, with lots of different flavors, I never notice! Alternatively, Trader Joe's sells a bag of frozen bell peppers (yellow, red and green) without onions that I get too.
2. Shelled edamamae - I love keeping edamame in the freezer for anytime that I want to add protein to a meal. It's so easy to throw a couple handfuls in the microwave to steam really fast and put on top of a salad or something else.
3. Green peas - I always keep frozen peas to add when I make fried rice, but I wasn't up for that challenge tonight, so I just threw some peas into the veggies.
4. A TON of sliced zucchini and summer squash. It's that time of year people, and to prove it I bought a bag full of zucchini and summer squash for next to nothing at the farmer's market last week.
And, on that note, I thought that the perfect way to make a dent in my zucchini stash (and satisfy my sweet tooth) was to make some muffins. I found this recipe on Eat, Live, Run that looked simple enough, and whipped some up. I used a combination of whole wheat (1 c.) and all purpose (1/2 c.) flours and they turned out great! I would highly recommend them! And now my apartment smells like Fall!
Have a good night!
