Making dinner tonight was very different. It is just Matt and me since the kids are at camp. I really had no constraints other than the fact that I haven’t been to the market in DAYS. It is very liberating, but a little limiting too, not having food that is. For our veggie, I dug up some bok choy that I must have bought last week and forgot about it. It was actually baby bok choy, which is smaller (obviously) and a little less crisp than regular bok choy. You could make this recipe with either. In my book, bok choy is Cinderella and kale and spinach are the mean step sisters. Don’t get upset, I am not saying that I don’t like kale and spinach, believe me I do and eat both all the time, but bok choy doesn’t get its time in the limelight nearly as much as I think it should!
