Burrito Bowl

3. Top with your favorite salsa, along with cheese and lettuce if you'd prefer.


My Favorite Stir Fry
1. Fry broccoli florets and sliced carrots in garlic butter until tender. (Or 1 tbs water and minced garlic if you're watching your weight.)
2. Add baby corn spears and your favorite stir fry sauce. (I prefer House of Tsang Classic.)
3. Meanwhile, make udon or soba noodles, egg noodles, or rice.
4. Add stir fry noodles/rice to stir fry and toss to coat.

Mediterranean Wraps (or Pita Pockets)
1. Gather a few of your favorite Mediterranean (peppers, squashes, snow peas, potatoes, garlic, onions, etc). Wash and slice them.
2. Put them in a container and add olive oil and Italian seasonings. (I just buy an Italian seasonings grinder, but feel free to improvise.) Toss to coat. Bake, covered, at 350 until tender. The timing depends on what veggies you choose, but it should be between 20 and 45 minutes.
3. Remove from oven and put in wraps, pitas, or serve with spaghetti and garlic bread.


Veggie Chili
