Thank goodness for husbands! I’ve been busy working and studying and he kept me fed.
Starting with a little snack around 5:00. He was rummaging in the kitchen for a snack and I said "I’m hungry too. Can you please bring me something to put in my mouth?"
Next thing I know there’s a little bowl of nuts for munching. [He even took the photo while i typed!]
Next delivery: a beer tasting! [I didn’t ask for this one!] He wanted me to try his newest Peach Wheat.
It was good, but not fabulous. Too sour!
He consulted me on the food stock and we decided on a stir-fry with beans and bok choy and rice.
He cooked carrot, celery and green pepper in a wok, added the stalks of some bok choy and 1 cup of canned navy beans, then the greens of the bok choy and finally a sauce made from a little-of-this rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, tamari, wasabi powder, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
Garnished with some toasted sesame seeds
It was delish, but left me wanting to cleanse my palate afterwards!
Thanks for all your help Kanz! "Ooo ooo!"

Dinner looks great, as always.
The peach wheat sounds like a winner in my books.
One of my fav. restaurants in Ontario serves a Strawberry beer, which is to die for, so I think I would enjoy the peach.

Hey Kath!
I have a serious questions for ya…ok…not really that serious, but important! I remember a while back ago you posted a video from one of your classes on eating disorders. Well, I am a professor teaching nutrition at a university, and I really wanted to show that film to my class. Would it be possible for you to send me the link? I would really appreciate it! Good luck studying for MNT! I am about to take the RD exam in a couple of weeks…yikes. 🙂 I just finished my MS/internship program, and am teaching part time. It is a great way to study for the RD exam! Anyway, thanks again. Love your blog!
OrganicAshley says
I have a chance to tell you that I am totally loving the new camera. I am saving up for one now. I am going to buy a camera soon and then keep saving up for the kind you have. 🙂 You’re a lucky girl to have a guy who can cook such healthy and satisfying snacks and dinners.

Lungberg’s short grain brown. it’s the best! Made with veggie broth so it’s a darker brown.
