I know that summer isn’t over yet- actually, it’s kind of far from it. But it feels a bit like summer is winding down at my house since school starts again (way too early!!) next week. We had some long, fun vacations this summer, so I felt like a got a lot out of it… and we’re continuing to sneak up to Tahoe to sit on the beach. Summer is still here, by golly, so let’s use up that beautiful summer produce and make some lemony stir fried sugar snap peas
I’m always at a loss on what to make for side dishes at my house. I severely DISLIKE being the one in charge of the menu 24/7. I can’t be creative all the time, so when I come across a lovely little veggie side dish recipe… I’m thrilled. This is one of those lovelies.
How to make Lemony Stir Fried Sugar Snap Peas:
Olive oil is heated in a skillet. Lemon slices are heated for a couple minutes in the olive oil. Sugar snap peas and sliced leeks are added in to sauté. And it’s finished off with fresh dill, salt and pepper. It’s the perfect sort of side dish to serve with grilled chicken or steak.
Those vacations I mentioned earlier on this post turned out to be rather indulgent. And by indulgent, I mean that I pretty much ate whatever I wanted, dined out quite often, ate a lot of ice cream, and didn’t get in daily workouts. That’s all changed now! I’m challenging myself to stay healthy-focused for the next 30 days. Recipes like this one will help! Indulgence is fun, but getting rid of the excess… not so much!
