My house was void of many essential items so Patrick and I headed to the grocery store first thing this morning. Nothing to exciting was purchased but I did discover my local grocery is now carrying Chobani yogurt!
Once we were home I put away all the groceries while Patrick took out the recycling. We both pick up around the condo a bit before we settled on the couch to watch the Gold medal hockey game. I'm bummed the US didn't win but it was a great game to watch! I bet the Canadian guys at Hugo's were extremely happy with the outcome!
Dinner tonight was something I've never made before. A veggie noodle bowl that both my husband and I really liked. This recipe can be changed up depending on what types of veggies and spices you add to the mix. I tried to use up the veggies that were looking kind of sad in my fridge.
Here is a look at the final product:
- Sesame oil
- Garlic, minced
- Mushrooms, sliced
- Carrots, sliced
- Orange pepper, sliced
- Celery, sliced
- Broccoli, cut
- Cauliflower, cut
- Frozen snow peas
- Chili powder
- Cayenne pepper
- Pepper flakes
- 2 tbs. brown sugar
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 4 tbs. soy sauce
- 12 oz. fettuccine
1. In a wok (or large skillet), heat 1 tbs. sesame oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and stir for 1 minute. Add all vegetables except snow peas and cook for 4-5 minutes. Add chili powder, cayenne pepper, pepper flakes and brown sugar, stir until evenly mixed.
2. Add 1 cup water, chicken broth and soy sauce. Bring to a boil then lower the heat and simmer 25 minutes.
4. While the veggies are cooking, cook fettuccine in separate pan according to package directions. Place serving of fettuccine in bowl and top with the hot broth and vegetables.
This was a fantastic meal and I would like to thank the blog Simply Life for providing me with the idea!
While I was busy cooking my husband made me a cocktail. Malibu rum + fruit punch:
Once dinner was eaten and the kitchen cleaned up we settled down and watched a movie, The Invention of Lying. The movie had funny parts but all around it wasn't one of my favorites.
This little guy decided to take a nap during the movie. Guess it didn't hold his interest!
Well, I'm going to follow his lead and get some shut eye.
Blog at ya later!
