Oh, Just Something I Whipped Up!

I didn't really know what to do for dinner tonight. Greg wasn't feeling well and I really need to do some grocery shopping. He decided he wanted some Zaxby's so I thought on it and figured I needed to make something fresher for Delilah and me. The whole way to Zaxby's I was thinking about what I had at the house and what I might could make out of it. Here is what I came up with.

I made a real quick easy stir fry. Here's what I did:

I cheated and got two grilled chicken breasts from Zaxby's (cooking it yourself at home would be just as easy if you got it in advance). Then I cut up about 1/4 cup each of red pepper, green pepper, yellow pepper, orange pepper, and onion. I cut a medium size zucchni into small spears and diced about a tablespoon of fresh ginger. I threw all this in a pan with a little bit of sesame oil and some soy sauce. Seasoned it with some crushed mixed peppercorns then let it simmer for a while. Most of the sesame oil and soy sauce cooked into the food so I added an extra dash of soy sauce at this point to make sure the flavor is good. You can taste it first (I did) to see if it needs more. I didn't add much the first time so more was fine. While all this is going on cook some rice. I use the boil in a bag rice because it's a little easier and tastes just as good. Then serve it up!!
Delilah thought it was delicious and ate it up with no arguement. Even Greg said it looked really good and if he ate stuff like that he would try it!! It was really easy and didn't take very long to make and sure is a lot healthier than a frozen dinner or take out!

Then to finish off a good meal and to make sure we weren't too healthy we had some chocolate cream pie! Delilah had no problems finishing that off either.
