We love stir fry. It's the best way to get John to eat veggies he's really not too crazy about - like onions and spinach and broccoli. Today after church, I came home and did some quick chopping and put together a nice skillet of veggies to serve over some brown basmati rice. I added all of the above plus a big double handful of fresh chopped spinach. Today we added something new - seitan. It's actually protein made from wheat - low fat, high protein and a consistency and flavor like chicken. We don't do lots of meat substitutes - but we found this during our last trip to the hippie store and I thought we'd give it a try. It was really good and we'll do it again - though we are finding that we don't really NEED the illusion of meat in our dishes. Still, it would make good fajitas I think - and maybe even a nice "chicken" salad for a pita.

This is a recipe that Pam and I love too. We get veggies cooked at Panda Express with no oil (just garlic and corn starch). We bring them home and cook up some brown basmati rice with a small amount of saffron rice thrown in. Use some soy sauce and hot mustard and you have a full meal. We will have to give the seitan a try.
