Duck Fried Rice
This duck fried rice is how I like to use up leftovers from our favorite takeout meal of Chinese roast duck and barbecued pork. The ingredient amounts can vary depending on what leftovers you have, but fried rice dishes are very forgiving.
Zucchini Scallion Frittata Cups
These zucchini egg cups are portion-controlled and protein-packed meals for on-the-go lifestyles. They freeze well, so I usually grab a few for lunch when I'm short on time.
Lomo Saltado (Peruvian Steak Stir-Fry)
I've never been a big stir-fry guy, but when it comes to lomo saltado, I make an exception. First of all, it's Peruvian — and I love to eat anything Peruvian. But, it's also a stir-fry that features not only meat and vegetables, but also French fries. Serve with steamed white rice and garnish with cilantro, if so desired.
