Wednesday, half way through the week day. Unfortunately it’s still below zero here in balmy Southern Ontario, when will this madness end? I had to wipe the frost of my bike today! Hopefully soon so I can give you something else to read about! And when the warmer weather does finally arrive maybe we can start to take photographs of our recipes outside using natural sunlight, wouldn’t that be nice! Speaking of lights, I picked up a super cool little Sima ultra bright video light which is perfect for my iPhone Instagram pics. It just gives them that bit extra light when doing breakfast and lunch pics.
We’ve recently posted our pics on Pinterest, you could call us Pinterest newbies if you like. We are slowly getting the hang of it and have started to follow some vegan boards on there. So many great recipes and ideas in that community. If you are interested our Pinterest username is ripelife (wasn’t that hard) After getting home from the gym rather late I decided to make a quick and delicious Vegan Vegetable Stir Fry. The thing I like about vegetable stir fries is that you can throw just about anything in them and they’ll be great. This is also a great way to empty that fridge before you go grocery shopping again.
For this vegetable stir fry I used small sweet peppers, the orange, yellow and red variety. Snap peas really went well with this to give it a real crunch.
Bok Choy Chinese cabbage has a mild flavor that makes it great for stir fries, soups or eating raw in a salad. It is an excellent source of calcium and B vitamins.
