{ VEGGIE & BEEF STIR FRY }

Steak of your choice (I used round steak) cut into thin strips
Veggies of your choice (I used carrots, mushrooms, snow peas, and asparagus) but you could use whatever your family likes!

So this is way easy. Just heat up some olive oil in a large skillet. Then brown your meat on high. Then add veggies adding the harder ones first. Add mushrooms just before serving or they will get to soggy. Then when everything is cooked to your liking pour the sauce over the stir fry. I put the lid on and let it simmer for just a few minutes. We like to eat this with steamed rice . . . yummy!

Sauce
2 T corn starch
2 T sugar
1 T salt
soy sauce (I just eye it but probably about 1/2 C )
cooking wine (equal parts to soy sauce)

{ CHICKEN CEASAR SALAD WITH NOODLES }

1 bag romaine lettuce

3 large chicken breasts ( boneless skinless )

1/2 of a 12 ounce box of rainbow rotini

1 bottle ceasar dressing

croutons

shredded Parmesan cheese

Put chicken in a large Ziploc bag, cover with some ceasar dressing and let it marinate in the fridge for a few hours. Cook chicken on the grill, then cut into bite size pieces. Cook your noodles and once they are drained and rinsed with cold water, put them in a bowl and toss with some ceasar dressing. Let them cool in the fridge and then toss the rest of the ingredients together into a salad. I like to leave the croutons out until right before eating so they don't get soggy :)
