Frisco- Quick Stir Fry

I do this quite often.... anything in the fridge.

Ground beef, mini bells, onion, mushrooms, snow peas.

Salt, pepper, garlic powder, sesame oil, chili oil.

Quick, easy and on point.

Loos delicious! I could use w/my chicken since I don't do red meat.

I have never tried sesame or chili oils...probably wouldn't ue a chili oil w/chicken, but how does the sesame oil taste?

Sesame and chili oils go great with chicken.

Both are very concentrated with flavor, and a little goes a long way.

I use ground chicken alot..... waaaay better than ground turkey.

Here is my Chinese Chicken Salad with sesame oil.

The recipe is here:

O, this looks YUMMY!

Will try it 2mor on my leftover chicken from tonite.

Thanks for the info on the oils...will pick up & keep on hand!

Yummy looking.  Thanks for keeping us going with good recipes!

looks great!!  But tell us, how often do you grocery shop to have all this fresh stuff around? Seems like I am always tossing the rotten veggies and replacing them with new ones!   diane

Hey Diane !

Hope you and the hubs are doing well up north !

My shop in Berkeley is a just a few blocks away from the greatest grocery store on earth....The Berkeley Bowl.

Huge produce section(s) and a real butcher shop and several ethnic sections.

I'm at this store 1-2 times a day, walking or bicycle or a scooter for small quantity daily shopping. 

Daily shopping is something that I have adopted to post VSG. It is very popular in Europe and Asia and was brought up at support group when I was early out.

Sure, I still have stuff that goes bad because I have to buy something by the bag/package and not by weight or each, but for the most part very little.

I know everyone dosen't have that option, but it was my choice to park myself near the food supply I need to sustain.

Thanks for the info. I too find myself at a grocery store every couple of days instead of the big blow out trip to the discount grocery every two weeks to stock up on mac and cheese and such.   We too are lucky to have coop and organic options fairly close. And a local natural foods store is putting in a second store only a mile away. 

Yeah I think most of the rest of the world shops daily. Its nice to come home with one little reusable bag instead of so much stuff that you need a fork lift to unload it.  Also works well for a small family like us.   Cheers!   Diane

I'm so glad you're not one of those sleevers who think vegetables are not worth including in their diet! Looks delicious. Like some of the posters above, I also shop 2-3 times a week to make sure everything is top-notch fresh.

That looks amazing. I can't wait until we move into our new place so I can really cook again. Since we are still at our son's place, and he lacks kitchen equipment, things have been a bit boring. However, I will no longer have to drive an hour to get to a Trader Joe's or Sprouts. I will also now have access to Natural Grocers and Whole Foods. That is going to be great. Three of them are really close to the rink I have been using since we got to CO.
