Left-over Vegetables!

By the way... You don't have to throw out those veggies that you just realized you hadn't eaten yet...  you know, the ones in your crisper drawer... the broccoli, squash, zucchini, bell peppers... My family decided to get some salad stuff for the week, though about Thursday we were ready to finish off our veggies.  In my stir-fry you can see baby bell peppers, broccoli, sprouts, mushrooms, snap peas, carrots and broccoli slaw.  (All of this stuff also goes great with pad thai if you want another Asian-influenced dish to use up some left-over veggies)

Simple solution: get a jar of teriyaki sauce from the store on your way home.  Get out your wok, dust it off, and throw it on the fire.  Chop those veggies, put a little oil in your wok, and saute them.  Put some rice in the rice cooker.  Add teriyaki sauce to your veggies at the last minute, toss them around and stick the lid on them until your rice is done. 

Serve the veggies over rice.  You forgot how easy and tasty a stir-fry is?  Oh, your husband needs meat?  Men just can't have a manly-meal without some manly-meat?  Alright, cook up some beef, chicken, pork, whatever you have in your freezer and bake them in the sauce in the oven.  Now you have a complete manly-meal  :)
