Tonight's dinner

Stir fry.
A can of chicken, drained, reserving broth.
2 1-lb packages frozen stir fry veggies (I couldn't decide which kind to buy so I got both of these)

Place broth from can of chicken in a measuring cup and add enough water to make 1 cup of liquid. Whisk in 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons soy sauce.

Heat large pan (I started with my big frying pan and switched to the big pot), then stir in the chicken chunks. Add the vegetables and stir around till veggies are getting soft. Then add the cornstarch-soysauce-chickenbroth paste. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are cooked and sauce is thickened.

Serve over brown rice with some slivered or chopped almonds on top.

Dessert: smoothie made from frozen raspberries, an apple (cored and cut up), a little frozen juice concentrate, and some milk to bring it to a nice consistency (no spinach this time). Oh, and some chocolate chip cookies as well.

Sounds good. But why no spinach? Isn't is supposed to be green?
