What to do with Asian leftovers
My friend Linda and I had a great Saturday. We hadn't spent some quality time together for awhile, so we started out by getting a massage at a new place by her. Then we went to Pei Wei for lunch (think fast food PF Chang's, if you don't have one near you - they're owned by the same company). I ordered a sizzling salad and she ordered blazing noodles - both with tofu and veggies - and both blazing hot!
There were a few leftovers and I brought them home. Now what to do with them? Well, I learned awhile back that you can add a little lettuce and make a nice cold salad out of almost any asian cuisine leftovers. Use a little iceberg if you want for crunch, but make sure you add some darker leafed lettuce for the vitamins and minerals - I'll be able to stretch one nite's leftovers into two or three tasty salads for lunch or dinners!

Veggie Tips!
A quick and easy way to add fiber and nutrients to your veg*n diet is cole slaw and broccoli slaw. Karyn swears by broccoli slaw. I'm a cabbage slaw kinda person. Add it to wraps, sandwiches - anywhere you would normally eat rice or lettuce. An added benefit - slaw is a raw food. If you're pressed for time, by the bagged slaw. However, chopping your own cabbage (preferably green and red) and chopping a few carrots is a great way to save money.
BTW - Karyn came down for the weekend and we went to Mandala Tea Room (Downtown Scottsdale)for lunch. http://www.mandalatearoom.com/urban_teahouse.html
She had the 'north' sandwich, and I had the 'west'. We both had ice tea as well. While I would have loved to try the deserts, the sandwiches were filling and very very good - mine was a 'BLT' using fakin' bacon (tempeh). Karyn's sandwich was an artichoke-garlic pesto with spinach, lettuce, tomato - both were on a great toasted 12 grain bread. We sat outside and thoroughly enjoyed a lovely lunch under the trees with service by a very nice and knowledgable wait staff.
Places like Green and Mandala are rather new to the Valley of the Sun, and a welcome addition!
Tonight's dinner: Veg cole slaw with buffalo non-wings, Sweet potato fries (baked), seedless watermelon.
