Two Strikes....

I struck out TWO, count 'em TWO times yesterday. I invented my own protein bar recipe based on a few recipes stuck together. I made some changes, cut some things out, put some things in. They smelled absolutely DIVINE while they were baking! The batter was soooo good! It tasted like a cliff bar! Mmmmm! I went wrong somewhere along the line though and they came out so dry! They absorb the moisture in your mouth and are just a struggle to eat ha! Dangit! I think that I will try my recipe again and this time add more applesauce! Strike two happened not even an hour later! I was making this delicious stir fry (I'll be posting the recipe below) and I burnt the dang brown rice! UGH! I really am blaming this one on the crappy pot I was using! Oh well...not everything I make can turn out alright I guess!

Honey Garlic Stir Fry (got this from The Kitchen Table on Eatcleandiet.com)

About 2 dozen shrimp (50-70 per lb, mine was pre-cooked) Feel free to switch it up to chicken or beef or whatever!
1-2 cups veggies per person ( I used broccoli and sliced peppers and didn't really measure the exact amounts)
Chopped onion
Crushed garlic
3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp agave nectar

Turn the stove on Medium heat. Put a little oil or cooking spray in a skillet. Add garlic and onion and cook until tender and fragrant (stir often). Add in veggies and stir for a few mins, add in shrimp and turn up the eat. Add soy sauce and agave nectar and stir constantly until veggies and shrimp caramelize (should take a few mins). Serve immediately over grain of choice. I used brown rice but I think this would be delish with quinoa or soba noodles! YUM!
