Vegetarian Cooking!

I count calories every day using the exchange system. I usually never have less than 2000 calories in a day. Last week I had a vegetarian dinner one night and at the end of the day I was only at 1600 calories! Dinner tasted great, and it was very low calorie. Even if you're not vegetarian, try vegetarian cooking.

Stir Fry, Mixed Vegetables in Oyster Sauce (don't be afraid of the sauce, it's good)
1 Tbsp canola oil
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 cup broccoli florets
2 cups bok choy, chopped
1 red bell pepper, julienned (match stick sized)
1 zucchini, sliced
2 Tbsp Chinese oyster sauce
salt and pepper to taste

In a skillet over medium-high heat, saute onions in oil until tender. Add vegetables and cook until crisp tender. Stir in oyster sauce and mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve over rice.
We added boneless skinless chicken breast cut into cubes. It was a good addition.
Bon apetite
