I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend, and was able to enjoy a day off yesterday. We had a relaxing weekend at home, probably our first one since we have moved. We did a little around the house, but that was it. We did manage to go shopping and buy more stuff for our house though, can’t seem to go a day without that happening 🙂
The one bad thing about having a holiday on a Monday, means the week is shorter and busier. Stir fry’s are a great quick dinner to help get your week off right. In about 20 minutes you can have dinner on the table, and a happy family. The best thing about a stir fry is you can use whatever you have on hand, and whatever you like. The original recipe called for red bell peppers, I don’t like them, I left them out.
Cooking Light is one of my go to recipe sources, and this is another recipe that does not disappoint. It has a little heat, a little sweetness, and is a quick and easy dinner. I have some peas growing in my garden, so I know I will be making this again soon with fresh snap peas. To add more depth of flavor add in two teaspoons of sesame oil to your rice before serving. Makes it just a little extra special.
Chicken Stir Fry is a staple for a quick weeknight meal. This is super flavorful, and in ready in 20 minutes. Adapted from Cooking LightSweet & Spicy Chicken Stir Fry

This my kind of stir fry… spicy! 🙂 Glad you had a low key and restful Labor Day. We were gearing up for our first day of school here… glad it’s finished now and the kids have dealt with the first day butterflies. 🙂

I like Cooking Light too. Best gym reading material, then off to the grocery store I go to buy the ingredients for whatever recipes caught my eye.

I love that flavor combination in a stir fry! Those are always my go-to meals for the family: every one eats them and they are usually easy to make.

This looks nice and simple! I wouldn’t eat it, picky me, but my husband would love it. I’ll bookmark it for when he deserves something special for himself. 🙂 Oh and I’m happy that you finally had a relaxing weekend!
