Well we are home and it is back to work tomorrow!  Blah! We got up bright and early since check out time was 10 am.  It was a very rushed morning so no pictures were taken.  My hubby made us breakfast while I got J’s breakie together.  I ate my breakfast while standing and packing our stuff up.  The morning was very cool and raining when we left.

We got home around 2:00 pm.  Then the unpacking and the putting away of the stuff took place.  After I got most of it put away I had a look in my fridge and decided a trip to the grocery store was in order.  I managed to clean it out pretty good before we left so there was pretty much nothing.

So since I had a bunch of fresh veggies from my grocery trip in the house I was inspired to cook myself a little supper from Mark Bittman’s Kitchen Express Cookbook.

P1020797 This book has a ton of great recipes that are easy and have simple ingredients.

I decided I would whip up his Eggplant Stir-fry

P1020798 This recipe was so easy and had like 6 ingredients!

P1020800 Lovely bright green baby bok choy

P1020801 Eggplant, tofu, garlic, ginger and Hoisin sauce.  That is it.  You fry the eggplant and tofu in a little sesame oil with the ginger and garlic in a pan until golden brown add the Hoisin sauce, bok choy and a little water and cook until the bok choy wilts.

P1020802 I served mine over brown rice topped with green onion and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

P1020803I really liked this combo with the sauce.  It was so tasty and I like the crunch of the bok choy.

P1020804  I also thought it would be fun to eat it with chopsticks

P1020805 Those are my cheater ones…I keep a jar of them on my kitchen table!  They come in a bunch of fun colors. Sometimes they are fun to eat with plus it makes you eat your dinner a little slower! ;)

This stir-fry was so good and the flavours went really well together.  Best part is I now have leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch…I love leftovers!

I was also in the mood to do a little baking!  I needed some treats for the week and making my own is the way to go!  I decided to make Super Charge Me Cookies from Eat, Drink and be Vegan. 

P1020807 I love these cookies they are so good and good for you too! It is a win win really!

P1020809 Of course when they came out of the oven I had to have one for dessert…I was ready for a little something!

P1020812 Mmmmm…so yummy!

Well now I need to do a little ironing and hit the hay!

Have a wonderful evening!
