Meal Prep & Leftover Tips
- The beef stew takes a little more prep time, so make it on the weekend, and use the leftovers during the week. This stew tastes great with a side of balsamic roasted brussels sprouts.
- Orange chicken is made in the slow cooker, and just perfect for a weekenight dinner.
- Clean and prep the vegetables for all of the recipes early in the week and store them in the fridge in separate containers so they are ready to use when you are cooking.
- The southwest chicken casserole is one that you can make a double batch of and freeze one for another night. See the instructions in the post.
Easy No Recipe Side Dish – Stir Fried Vegetables
Stir-fried vegetables are a quick and easy side dish option, or you can serve them over noodles or rice for a quick dinner!
Here’s how to make them. Add your favorite vegetables to a hot skillet with oil (good choices of veggies are peppers, mushrooms, onions, carrots, snow peas, broccoli). Stir fry until they are crisp-tender. Season them at the end of cooking with a splash of tamari or soy sauce or your favorite sauce.
Tip! The secret to stir-frying is to have the pan very hot and add the vegetables cut into similar-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
