Brady got out of work early today so we took Anna for a walk in the sunshine! It was still pretty cold out, but at least we were outside! On our walk we debated going to dinner, ordering in, and cooking. We decided we would order some sushi and make stir fry veggies to go with it.

The sushi was from a new place we had not been to, and we were not impressed. He ordered a spicy yellow tail roll and a spicy eel roll. I got a standard California roll. They were small and overall not great.

We made some miso soup to go with our Asian inspired meal. It was light and tasty – not as good as homemade because it came from a packet.

For the homemade portion of the meal, I made a fresh veggie stir fry. The base of my sauce was tahini, which I can NOT get enough of. I love it .

2. Heat a big stir fry pan with a splash of sesame oil or EVOO.

Anna is still doing well with her cast!

Do you like tahini? What do you use it in? Do you have any good recipes that use tahini? I can’t get enough of it!!
