Curry Vegetable Stir-Fry

Sunday night, I had zero desire to cook, and was contemplating junk food (I do still do this). I resisted the urge, which was hard as hell (it is still hard sometimes), so I did what I do often, which was “what needs to be used so it doesn’t spoil?” Bell peppers and zucchini, so I decided to do a simple vegetable stir-fry. For flavor, I added shallots and garlic. When it was almost done, having been craving Thai food, I thought I’d add curry powder. It smelled amazing, but then I remembered I had pineapple in the fridge that needed to used, so I tossed that in too! What I ended up with was an awesome Thai inspired, colorful, and warm meal.

Curry Vegetable Stir-Fry

  • Bell peppers (2 colors)
  • Zucchini, 1 green, 1 yellow
  • 2 shallots
  • Garlic cloves (as many as you like!)
  • Pineapple
  • Curry powder
  • Kosher salt/pepp

Isn’t it gorgeous? 🙂

Saturday’s Veggie Grilling Party

On Saturday’s Seth and I tend to cook even more than we do during the week because we have more time to prep, and aren’t as rushed. The weather has been gorgeous in San Diego, especially in the evenings, so we’ve been grilling a lot. This past Saturday, we had a little veggie grilling party: Seth’s Stuffed Shrooms (http://wp.me/p2zSoO-1S), stuffed peppers and grilled zucchini.

Seth’s Stuffed Shrooms are so good, we wanted to make them again, but we had leftover stuffing, so we decided to clean out some mini-bell peppers, and stuff those as well. The peppers were great grilled and offered a different flavor if you’re not into mushrooms:

We also grilled some zucchini we were given from a friends parents (yay for sharing fresh food!). These zucchini are gorgeous, huge, and so easy to prepare. Simply slice them thin, toss the slices in a large zip-loc bag, sprinkle kosher salt and black pepper, and a drizzle of garlic macadamia oil and then shake in the bag. Zucchini is my favorite grilled, because it has so much water content, it crisps better, in my opinion. I use macadamia oil to cook with as it’s more heat tolerant and the properties don’t change increasing toxins, like heating olive oil. This is a Paleo aspect.

It was a healthy, flavorful, veggie grilling party 🙂
