[Mom to two picky ea]

This recipe was super easy and cheap! I was in a hurry so didn't add any veggies to mine, but DH and I still enjoyed this. I followed the recipe exactly as written EXCEPT for using half and half instead of soymilk, and used the green curry paste. Will definitely make this again - great meal for 2 (well, unless DH and I are just big eaters!), not sure it would do for 4 unless you had quite a few veggies in there.

This recipe sure was quick! Hubby and Little Miss (DD) wanted to eat steak and since I don't eat red meat. I needed a recipe that was easy, quick to make and was able to use Recipe #70573. I added stir fried veggies (carrots, mushrooms, corn, zucchini, eggplant, beans and broccoli) also added a hand full of cooked chicken strips. I was toying of the idea to use coconut milk instead of soy but I didn't, maybe next time. The flavors were nice and I like the fact I ate a very health meal. Thank you Vegan Courtney.
