Had plenty of veggies that needed to be cooked up, so I thought I'd fry up the bok choy and bean sprouts (yum)

Ingredients:

• bok choy, cut into pieces
• bag of bean sprouts
• onion, diced
• garlic, diced

Stir frying was pretty straightforward: fry up onions and garlic, add bean sprouts, then bok choy shortly thereafter. Season with a dash of soy sauce, lemon pepper, and herb seasoning.

For protein, I steamed fish (Swai fillet). Simply cut the big pieces in half (so they'd fit in the steamer), and piled them all in. I had put the pieces in and already started cooking when I realized I'd forgotten to season the fish, so I simply opened the lid and sprinkled a generous helping of lemon pepper on top of each fish fillet.

Red rice cooked on the side.

I was afraid the fish was overdone, and under-seasoned, but it actually turned out pretty well!

I also thought the bean sprouts were overdone, as I'd underestimated the time it takes to cook the stalk portions of the bok choy, and had to cook them longer. But they still turned out great, as evidenced by the fact that my son wolfed it down like there was no tomorrow!

One last note: the veggie stir fry would have been REALLY good with spinach. So, remember next time: add spinach to the mix! :-9

When I got home this evening I knew I wanted to cook up the quinoa that had been sitting in our pantry for a while, so the first thing I did was put some on. Then I had to figure out what ELSE I wanted to cook to go along with it! I rummaged through the pantry for some other goods and came across a can of diced tomatoes and some cans of tuna. Here is what I wound up doing:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (dry) quinoa
• 1 can diced tomatoes (no salt added)
• 2 cans tuna fish
• 1 package asparagus
