Veggie Stir Fry

Last night was stir fry night!  Stir fry is my go to dinner.  I love it because it is super easy and healthy.  The ingredients from my basket were the patty pan squash, green bell pepper, and butter beans.  I added a red bell pepper for color and scallions for a fun little topping!  You will probably find out quickly that I like to eat vegetarian meals, but if you prefer to have a little meat on your plate too, both chicken and shrimp would be perfect with this dish.  You will also notice that I will make recipes for 1 serving.  I live and alone, therefore, cook for one!  All of the recipes on this blog can easily be made into more servings.  Finally, I like to use low sodium soy on my stir fry.  Too much salt makes me puffy!
Ingredients:
  • 1 green onion
  • 1/4 green bell pepper
  • 1/4 red bell pepper
  • 1/2 patty pan squash

  • 1 glove minced garlic

1. Chop up the green bell pepper, red bell pepper, scallion, and garlic.
2. In a small bowl, mix the lime juice, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes.

6. Pour the soy mixture over the veggies.
