This is one of many favorite beef stir-fries, mainly because of the sauce. You can add any veggies you like, I just stuck with snow peas and green onions this time. Go here, here and here for more stir-fries using beef. Of course you can search stir-fries and get all of them.
When you have your own garden you cook whatever is ready to be picked. I have a small raised bed garden and my snow peas are producing like crazy – I need to pick them every day. I especially like to grow these as I like them small and tender – not what you usually … Continue reading

So, I decided to try rice noodles that were called for in this recipe from Eating Well Magazine that I … Continue reading
I am always looking for a new Weight Watcher’s recipe with an Oriental flair. This is a great way to get some of your daily requirement of vegetables. Once again I have altered the recipe a little to fit my tastes; usually it is mainly the vegetables. There are 7 points per 1 cup serving. I wondered … Continue reading
