Stir-Fry never sounds good to me, but in the last 4 months of eating this way it has been awesome every time I’m made it. Truth be told, I am NOT a lover of vegetables. Shocking I know, what with this Plant-Based Diet and all. Even still, every time I made stir-fry it tasted amazing, as if God worked a miracle right there on my plate.
Until last night. The stir-fry was awful. I’m not sure what I did different but bleh, yuck, and more bleh!!! By popular vote stir-fry will not return to the Meal Plan for at least a few weeks.
Sometimes things just don’t turn out. Sometimes it happens several times in one week.
Take these muffins for example. The first time I made them they were good, but not quite sweet enough more my taste. They were perfect for my husband who, unlike me, isn’t cursed with a big honking sweet tooth.
The second time I made them….what the???
They sank, were wet, and just plain pitiful. On the plus side they tasted great. I had hoped to use these for my 1 year old’s birthday, but that wasn’t going to happen.
The next day I made these. Big difference. I finally realized what I did wrong. I left out 1 cup of flour. Genius I know. But I learned a lesson: when reading chicken scratch directions pay careful attention to detail. And, follow the recipe, I always want to tweak them.
The third attempt was good enough for a Birthday Celebration! And this is how we do it.
Mmm! Look at him go! Micah and I “snail-mailed” you her vegan cupcake and frosting recipe. To. Die. For.
I wonder what happened w/ the stir-fry – do you know what you did differently this time? What did you do for supper? (Did you eat it anyway?)
We ate it any way. There have been a few times through the years we had to get take out. Since take out isn’t really an option we have some healthy cereal that serves as a fall back.
