Siena's Creation

Since Siena was a small sprout, she would cook with me in the kitchen. She has never lost the love to cook with me! However now she makes up her own dishes and has to chop her own things and just recently wants to use the stove..YIKES! So tonight Troy helped her cook up this AWESOME stir fry from the the veggies and sauces in the fridge. She picked out everything. Troy was cute and put daps of a few sauces on a plate for her to taste, then she chose which ones to use. The great part about this post is I get to share two recipes. Siena used some of a salad I made on Tuesday in her dish, so here is my quick salad recipe and then Siena's creation which her and Troy named. Luke refrained from tasting because he avoids things that are green!!!


Cabbage Salad
Sometimes I like to use shredded cabbage instead of lettuce for the crunch factor! TJ's has a package of shredded cabbage in the fridge section.

1 packages TJ's shredded cabbage
1 red bell pepper slice thin
1 large hand full of shredded carrots (also found in the fridge section)
6-7 raw broccoli trees (as Luke calls them)

Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Toss well.

I keep it undressed so I can eat it all week. I use 1 TBS of dressing per serving and toss in a separate bowl. I love to use TJ's Cilantro Salad dressing or their Green Goddess dressing with this salad.

Serves 4-6

This recipe is for 1 serving, so increase to eat more:)

1 handful of Cabbage Salad (see above)
1 zucchini cubed up
2 tsp Olive oil
2 tsp Sriracha
1 TBS TJ's Teriyaki Sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

Heat a small sauce pan on medium high heat. Add olive oil to cover pan. Add cabbage salad, zucchini, salt and pepper. Toss in pan for 3-4 minutes. Add Sriracha and teriyaki and mix to coat veggies. Heat for an additional minute. Take of heat and serve.

This was so good. We loved it. I'm going to make it again with shrimp. It is spicy, so Siena ended up drinking water then milk then eating crackers, anything to cool off her mouth.

It was a fun night in the kitchen:)
