In the Kitchen: Ginger Basil Stirfry

Cooking dinner is literally the LAST thing I feel like doing when I get home from work... finding time to buy groceries is difficult enough, and meal planning has been out the question these last few weeks. When I realized I got bok choy in my Organic Box this week I knew if I didn't make something with it tonight it would probably end up being a good candidate for the garbage a week from now when I find it wilted in the veggie drawer.

This recipe was really easy, I used tofu, but you could absolutely substitute with chicken, beef or prawns....  and here it goes...

Grocery List:
-1 tbsp coconut oil
-1 block extra firm tofu chopped into bite size pieces
-1/2 red onion chopped
-5 green onions chopped
-2 garlic gloves chopped
-1 tbsp ginger
-3 cups bokchoy chopped
-1/4 cup basil leaves chopped

-1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
-1tbsp hoisin sauce
-1/4 cup rice vinegar
-1 tbsp sriracha or hot sauce (optional)
-1/2 cup water

 -1/4 cup water

-1 tsp cornstarch

1)On a medium heat saute tofu in the coconut oil until lightly browned on all sides
2) Add vegetables and saute until softened
3) Combine first 5 sauce ingredients and mix together; add to vegetable mixture and toss to coat
4)Mix together last two ingredients and add to stir fry to thicken
5) Serve over quinoa (or rice) and garnish with salad shoots (optional)
6) Enjoy

Happy Friday...

Summer temperatures have finally arrived over these last couple weeks and you won't find me complaining about the warmer days or evenings! Summer weekend madness is also ramping up... it seems like my weekends are scheduling right up with fun activities and hopefully I will get to share some of it with you over the next couple months!

I hope you are doing something exciting this weekend....

Photo Journey: Jet Set to Oahu....

I meant to post this a while back, somehow it got lost in the shuffle, (there might be a couple more posts like that coming up)...

To say Hawaii was an amazing holiday would be an understatement... it was perfect in every sense of the word...here is our vacation album.... I think the pictures speak for themselves....

What a great holiday! So many great memories with a group of great people... I can't wait to go back!

I hope you are having a terrific week people!

Dinner Club: Breakfast at The Glass House...

 This is just a short little post to say Hi there!!! Being back at work has put me behind on keeping this blog updated.... I am sure you were all just waiting for that to happen! So for the meantime the posts might be short, I hope you like pictures because I haven't stopped taking those!

I had breakfast with these fab ladies a couple weeks back..... dinner club turned into breakfast at the Glass House in the Enjoy Centre. The breakfast was delicious and I highly recommend stopping in to browse the entire centre and grab a bite to eat!

Wishing you all a fabulous week!
