Bok Choy

Today was another hot day in South Florida. It is Winter, right?

We do not use the word stir fry in our house. I fail every time I try to make one. Huck told me it was the one thing I'm not good at. People I know that can't cook, can make stir fries. Not me!! They always taste Bland... Salty... Mushy... Soy Saucey... Gross... I can keep going :) 

I did not call this a stir fry when I told Huck what I wanted to make for dinner. I told him I was going to saute the veggies with chicken in a sauce... he said "So a stir fry??" "No. Not like stir fry. Like sauteed veggies with chicken in a sauce."

This recipe is my first successful STIR FRY!! :) I can safely call it a stir fry now!! 

I hope everyone had a nice weekend... Back to work tomorrow.
