Mix 'N Match Stir Fry

Before my Mom passed away, I was always challenged to find things that would tempt her to eat. She loved veggies of all kinds, so I'd always keep packages of broccoli, snap peas, and mixed vegetables of all sorts in the freezer. I soon started experimenting with stir fries, because they were quick for me to fix when I came in from a hard day of training horses. The advantage of this mix n match method is that you can use any leftover meat or poultry, any vegetable or combination of vegetables, and any sort of dressing or sauce. I'll share one of my favorites:

INGREDIENTS:

Left over ham, diced
I cup each of frozen broccoli and sugar snap peas
1 cup leftover cooked carrots
½ cup or so Ken's Honey Mustard Dressing

Dump the ham and the veggies into a skillet (I spray it first with a non-stick spray) with a little water. Cover and heat on a medium setting until the vegetables start to cook. Just before they're done to your taste, drain off any excess liquid and stir in the dressing. Heat until simmering and until vegetables are tender.

This is wonderful as is or even better served over white rice.

VARIATIONS: Don't have ham? Use cubed chicken, ground beef, or thin strips of steak. Brown them first before adding the vegetables. It's also wonderful with sweet and sour sauce or barbeque sauce.

This dish is rich, hearty, and requires only one skillet!
