Stir fry

I love summer fresh vegetables.  As a kid, I was one of those picky fussy eaters who refused anything different.  Looking back, I'm thinking my mother did her best to make the veggies interesting.  One of my favorites now was her stuffed zucchini..... just sliced them in half lengthwise, hollowed out the seeds and then put a hearty tomato meat sauce in them, sprinkled parmesan, bread crumb mixture on that and baked them for 20 to 30 minutes, until tender to a fork.

Last night, I sliced up zucchini, carrots, celery, baby bok choy, red onions, green onions, bamboo shoots, turkey breast cutlets, red peppers, and tossed them all in the wok. 

I started with the turkey breast pieces, made sure they were cooked through, then added the celery, carrots and bamboo shoots.  I didn't want to add too much oil so only used a tablespoonful for the meat, then after the hard veggies were in added a spoonful of white wine.  Once the celery had changed color, I added the rest of the veggies and stirred them around with a wee bit more wine for about 5 minutes.  Then I added a quarter cup of a store bought sauce, Rich Cashew and Cumin sauce.  It was supposedly a mild-medium spiciness, but it had a bit of kick to it.   A nice lean, healthy main course.

Cheese Roll Ups

This was just an off the cuff idea I had for yesterdays complement to the spaghetti dinner I made for the kids.  They loved it, so with that kind of review, I'm happy to pass it on. 10 inch cheese tortillas ricotta cheese garlic hummus medium hot salsa Spread ricotta cheese across the entire tortilla.  Then spread hummus across the ricotta.  In the center of the tortilla, leave about 2 tablespoons of the salsa in a line across the center.  Roll the tortilla up, keeping the mixture inside.  Place on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven at 350 for about 15 to 20 minutes.
