Yummy Stir fry
So i was trying to figure out what to have for dinner tonight and i realized i had all these veggies to get rid of...AND i just bought the newest weight watchers cookbook. Now, while i never follow recipies exactlly, i found this book very inspiring, as my usual fare includes lots of butter, cream, etc. So i base my ideas off this book...and today i wanted something yummy with really low points value.
