I knew I had some beautiful pesticide free grown apples from my and the boyfriend’s adventure this weekend! ( I am saving the adventure for a separate post!) So I washed and chopped some of those up!

Do those look amazing or what?! I grabbed the rest of my zucchini + onion from earlier (last one!) and then found some broccoli in my freezer… well it was completely freezer burned and my mom always tells me that that ruins the flavor however I HATE wasting food! I decided a broccoli stir fry was in order, to this I also added some collard leaves for wilting.

I sautéed a tsp of sesame oil with the onions + zucchini + freezer-burned broccoli + collards. At the end I threw in a couple tablespoons Newman’s Own Lighten Up Sesame Ginger Marinade.

I had a bad “mom is always right” feeling about the broccoli (which was making crazy mushroom type noises!) so I made a “back up” plate which consisted of: Kale Chips + Seaweed Salad (from the weekend adventure!) + the apple! And Hot Apple Mustard Sauce for dipping (tastes like spicy apple sauce! soooo GOOD) Doesn’t it kind of looks like Peanut Butter??

Oh and a glass of pinot noir of course!

The boyfriend thought the stir fry was “bomb,” but after a few bites it started to become wierd to me! I blame the freezer burned broccoli! It was for sure a texture/flavor thing that got me. I ended up not eating too much stir fry. I knew the time had come to say goodbye my freezer-burned broccoli (I had a HUGE bag), but no worries, I compost everything!!! ps: that is where the rest of the stir fry went too

Does anyone have any tips on how to prevent freezer burn to your precious veggies???

OH, and after I did have my last two gluten-free cinnamon thins! I will be reviewing these later!

Bed-time! I have to get up early and clean up around the house and tomorrow I am taking my grandma to do some shopping/errands!! (she is 87!! and of course does NOT drive!!) should be a fun adventure! I will post what we decide to eat together!
