Yummy Beef Stir Fry

This was so good and so easy! I will be making this again with some chicken!
First I added some oil. Sesame oil would be great but I had none so light olive oil is what I used. Then I sauteed garlic and green onion. I would have added fresh ginger here, too. I added ground ginger to the meat. So I added the boneless beef sirloin, soy sauce, oyster sauce (this makes a lot of difference), salt and pepper. (Eye-ball it) Once cooked on both sides I removed and added a little more oil.

Then I added all the veggies. Carrot, broccoli, cabbage, zucchini, and mushrooms. I added some salt to help it sweat out and put a lid on. Make sure you get all the good brown bits off the bottom of the pan from the beef!

Boil the noodles or cook your rice and add them to the vegetable to soak up some of the yummy sauce.

Put on a big serving platter and add the beef back on top. Enjoy!

Kris loved it and Kara was really eating up the veggies! I know Kinadie will eat it up! She has my taste buds. I love all Asian food. Wished I'd have realized this when I was in Hawaii. I'd have gone to eat sushi more.

On another note, Kara's doctor called and said she did in fact break her collar bone. Not much they can do about it though. So she's wearing a sling for 2-3 weeks. She can't really play much so she's been watching a lot of TV :op Thinking about going to the library to check out some videos for her. She's a trooper though.

MTM

Since we did nothing yesterday I decided to do a muffin tin breakfast this morning. Kara had strawberry yogurt, granola, frozen blueberries, cheese, cheese crackers, and some toaster tart.




She is wearing an arm sling. :o( Yesterday at Kin's soccer practice she fell off the bleachers and we think she broke her collar bone. I am waiting on radiology to call me. But momma is taking good care of her this morning. If you would like to join Muffin Tin Monday, go here.

School!!!

Kinadie has been going to Headstart and Preschool and it has kept me VERY busy. Not only school but Daddy got promoted out of his unit last weekend so we're going through some changes. He is very busy these days with his schooling, work, and going through the interview process of getting another job. I've been trying to do as much as I can here at the house when I'm home but I keep getting run over by laundry! lol It hasn't helped that we got all our winter clothes out! Ah! How I miss the Hawaii weather. My walking hit the back burner, too. I did go yesterday but it was only a few blocks to Dollar General. We just HAD to get some candy corn! It's tradition! ;o)  And if you know me I'm all about traditions! But yeah, we are busy busy. Kin has soccer and is really liking it. Her BB gets to watch her this next time so we've set apart some practice time tonight since practice was canceled this week. Here lately its been all Kinadie and Daddy. But I've enjoyed the time I get to spend with my other two at home. Kaylee Jo has mastered purees and sitting up. She is now working on crawling and soft foods. Kara looks so cute with her new hair cut and has really picked up on the things Kinadie does. Kara has learned to count to 10. We couldn't be more proud of her. Kinadie gets to ride the fire truck today. October is Fire Safety Month. Make sure those batteries in you alarms are still good and get an alarm if you don't have one!
I have still been teaching Pre-K on Sunday. Its funny how much I have learned just by doing lessons. The more I spend with God the more I learn. I have been asking for wisdom. I am not one that can remember where scripture is found but I do know the verse. Anyway, I LOVE teaching these kids. They know a lot more and remember things more than you would think. A lot have asked Jesus into their hearts. I am so blessed to be around these kid-os and see them learn!
Well, my laundry is exploding off the couch! If anyone has some outstanding organization tips, I desperately need them! ;o) Send them my way!
