Vegetable Stir Fry

by Penny October 5, 2010

One of my favorite indulgences, and there are many, is Chinese food. I love the combination of crisp vegetables and rice with some soy sauce thrown together and heated until all the tastes come together into a rich and filling dish.

Mexican Tortilla Dinner

This was a quick and easy dish to put together and can be modified to fit just about any meal plan. I used ground meat, but you could very easily make this a vegetarian dish by added more black beans, (or a mixture or black and kidney beans) and eliminate the ground meat. Of course [...]
