Chicken Teriyaki

Chicken Teriyaki

Made with diced chicken tenderloins, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, kale, firm tofu, sliced red onions, celery, mushrooms, yellow onions, sweet Vidalia onions, scallions, bean sprouts, and teriyaki sauce; served over brown rice.

I just loved eating this for dinner and it was all due to the teriyaki sauce.  That sauce can make anything taste yumalicious!

Just put some assorted vegetables inside a pan and throw a bottle of teriyaki sauce all over them.  Yet another way to love life!

Teriyaki Sauce

I discovered this lovely sauce at the health food store, but later found out you can get this exact bottle at Wal-Mart for at least one dollar (if not more) cheaper.

So, if you have nothing else to do today, try throwing some teriyaki sauce over your favorite meats and vegetables and love every minute of it.

Take-Away Life Lesson:  If Wal-Mart is selling the exact product as your local health food store, it’s probably going to be cheaper at a Wal-Mart.

I just love my little steamer basket.  You can put it inside any sized pan and make it expand as wide as you need it.  I’ve never had one before and you know how excited I get when I get myself something new to try!

Cabbage

Cabbage made with shredded carrots, lots of butter, and salt & pepper.

This was SO good!  I attribute a lot of it to the massive amounts of buttery goodness.

Sauteed Asparagus, Peppers, & Onions

Sautéed Asparagus, Peppers, & Onions made with asparagus, sliced yellow peppers, sliced red onions, Parmesan & roasted garlic vinaigrette, and topped with Parmesan cheese.

I used canned asparagus in this rather than fresh and I used a slightly different type of vinaigrette—and it was OH SO delicious!
