Fridays really should be a “no fuss” lead into the weekend. However, a lot of us don’t feel that “relief” into well into the day (usually at the 5 side of 9-to-5). So, it’s nice to come home, unwind and have a simple dinner cooked and ready in less than 20 minutes, like this Vegetarian Noodle Stir-Fry!

That’s totally what we did tonight! Carm worked from home today and took care of a sick Mozzer, while I had a rare 12-hour shift. Good thing that Spoon University put the Vegetarian Noodle Stir-Fry at the end of their dinner list. It really helped us ease into the weekend. 

The recipe is simple and 100% vegan (don’t let the “vegetarian” fool you). We used the listed veggies, but had to get an extra bell pepper. Good thing we also reserved some of the roasted carrots, as they fit in nicely. To stay 21 Day Fix-friendly, we cooked the remaining brown rice pasta, as the other half of the package was used on Monday. We also left out the salt and oil, while scaling back the tamari (in place of soy sauce). It hit the spot!

 

So, we’re officially at the end of our challenge with our family at Power to the Veg on Facebook (request to join). What did we learn? Some new recipes! What do we hope others learn? That being vegan doesn’t mean expensive! $20 can go a long way for many. 

We were also reminded that cooking together makes for great quality time. Carm says it helps to plan our meals too!

Carm said we’re going to of another challenge next month. This time it’s $30 for a week’s worth of dinners. Join us for that when it happens!
