Most children are back in school again, either in person or virtually.  Summer has come to a close.  The sun is setting earlier and those long, lingering nights relaxing on the deck are disappearing and being replaced by homework and extra-curricular activities. 

One of my favorite new finds at Costco is an organic quinoa and brown rice mixture that comes in pouches.  You place that pouch in the microwave for 90 seconds and you have a wonderful, nutritious, whole grain side dish that is perfect with this stir fry.

This dinner is ready in half an hour from start to finish.  It is made using only one pot for easy cleanup leaving plenty of time to get homework done and to practices.  You might even have time to relax in front of a bonfire before bedtime.  Happy Fall......

We are heading north this week as Frank has a work conference and I'm tagging along.  Last night we met up with an old friend for dinner.  Tonight we are just relaxing and grazing with charcuterie, cheese, fruit and bread.  Tomorrow is pasta and then we are heading out of town.  We'll be back on Saturday so next week I will have a real Weekly Menu for you.
