This is my 2nd post of the day so be sure to scroll down! Prior to doing the Vegan Stew (I talk about in the next post) I did a quick Veggie Stir Fry! I didn't have a lot on hand so this is what I do for this - I used Onions and Red and Green Peppers as well as Frozen Green Beans. I used Grapeseed Oil for the stir fry and Wildtree Spicy Chipotle Ranch for the seasoning! It was very simple yet flavorful! I was very pleased. I ended up getting a small package of julienned Onion and Peppers from my local 'mom and pop' grocery store. I don't know this to be fact but I think that when their deli makes their items fresh each day they have left over fresh produce and they package it up for a reduced price. Since I had been making a LARGE grocery run this coming weekend I thought I would buy this little but to hold me over. It only cost me 97 cents and there was enough for my Stir fry AND my Stew (next post).
A while back I received some Peanut Butter Power Chews from Sun Ridge Farms! I have been 'sitting on' my tasting notes for these babies for a while now. I figured today was as good of a day as any since I found myself CRAVING them and don't have any more left! Ahhh...at least I will have the memories, right!? I remember these Power Chews SMELLING like wonderful peanut butter! The squares or rectangles were of different sizes but substantial, regardless! They were VERY filling and even at my hungriest I could only eat 2 or 3 of them! They did last a good amount of time. The Peanut Butter flavor was amazing and oh-so-natural, too! They were crispy and fun! These were a nice alternative to 'Rice Crispy Snacks'. And they were jam-packed with Protein, Iron, and Calcium! What a treat! I sure LOVED them while they lasted!
Tonight my husband and I are taking my mom and dad to Jackson Valley for dinner for Father's Day. I'm quite excited about it. I think I will partake in an 'adult beverage' as well! It's been a long week! I do like their place for dinner as they have a great salad bar! Tomorrow - my mom, dad, sister, and I will be attending a fundraiser for Melissa - who passed away a few weeks ago - we are still doing a Wildtree Fundraiser for her family as well as attending to show support for her and her family. I know I will recognize people throughout the day. Sunday I have plans to clean and grocery shop as well as Farmers Market HOP both days this weekend! I hope you have a great week, too! Drop me a note and let me know you stopped by!
The stir fry sounds great too!
