Eat!

Hi guys, I just turned my nearly out of date veggies to a scrumptious vegetable stir fry for dinner. Here's a good tip for everyone, I'm sure if you are a mom and hates throwing food away you probably know this already! All you need is some basics in the cupboard which are garlic, soy sauce (I'm Asian! ) , olive oil or rape seed oil and a mixture of vegetables. I sautéed the garlic first then added the hardest vegetable for a couple of minutes which happened to be the carrots, butternut squash and sweet potato all diced up before throwing in the softer ones. Season a tablespoon of soy sauce and a pinch of sugar. Next was the aubergine and fennel. I left the asparagus at the very end just when it was simmering so I still have that crunch left in them. I have to say, one of my pet peeves is eating an overcooked asparagus. Also, while waiting for the kids at their gymnastic class I got a tip from the magazine on how to make your kids eat more vegetable at dinner times. This tip is quite obvious but I just never implemented it fully until reading it, which was to serve the vegetable first before the main course. Obvious right!? I love these kind of tips! Happy midweek cooking! Love, Shana xoxo
