Some vegetable suggestions for Stir Fry
Vegetarian Recipes for left over veggies
Try this vegetarian recipes using some of those left over vegetables in your fridge. The stir fry method of cooking is an easy way to use left over vegetables to make a quick, easy and economical dinner. Go through your fridge and bring out all the fresh as well as sad looking vegetables that you were thinking of throwing out and cook them up. Don't worry if the veggies are a bit soft or even bruised as they often will cook up just fine. You will feel very self-righteous that you are using vegetables that you may have otherwise thrown away. I made a dinner the other night with a wide variety of left over veggies, actually ones that I have never put together in one dish. I got rave reviews from my husband.
