We used to go out to dinner on Friday and Saturday nights. Most of the time on Saturday we would end up getting pizza. Since we have started eating healthier, we have cut out the Saturday night restaurant trip and replaced it with eating at home.
Last night, we made a chicken stir fry from a recipe I found on bigoven.com. The recipe appealed to me because it used a bunch of veggies that we got in our last shipment from Farm Fresh to You. The recipe is great and I made some white rice to go along with it. Just a precaution, there is a bit of prep work required for this dish.
As for the heat in this dish, you get a little bit of it from the dried peppers in it. I kicked it up some more with sriracha. If you really want to be adventurous, slice up a habanero and infuse the oils along with the garlic and ginger.
The meal is roughly 400 calories per serving. Compare that to 750-1000 (or more) calories in your typical pizza dinner. Not to mention all the calories you burn prepping the dinner. Am I saying don't eat pizza? Of course not, I'm just showing that there are a lot of fun alternative things you can do on a Saturday night. If you have the thought in your head of cooking at home, you can plan on doing it and make it happen.
