The Back-Up Dish

Do you have a back-up dish that you always seem to find yourself making?

Around dinner time I will stick my head in the fridge, hoping the contents inside will start jumping up and down yelling “Pick Me! Pick Me!” But when that doesn’t happen, I always find myself making something a kin to stir fry.

Last night my back up dish consisted of broccoli, cauliflower, summer squash, corn, peas, celery, scallions, mushrooms, and garlic sautéed in olive oil, salt and pepper, and then mixed together with steamed basmati rice. Reading it now, it doesn’t sound like a bad meal, or at least wouldn’t be if I didn’t eat some variation of this dish every week!
