Combination Stir Fry with BBQ Peanut Sauce Recipe

Combination Stir Fry with BBQ Peanut Sauce Recipe, this is the perfect use for leftover veggies or any meat, chicken or seafood you have in your fridge. Delicious and Quick but better than take out anytime! #stirfry
Hola Amigos! I guess at this moment we are clearing the fridge to make room for our 18 pounder bird and pies and everything we can possible prepare ahead of time. But what to eat before Turkey Day  arrives? well, just check among the "forgotten" items while making that needed space, put them all together and make a delicious stir fry.

This dish came about  because in one of my shopping trips I noticed this perfectly delicious 16 oz of stir fry mix for only $1.69!!! that is a bargain! Most of the time I stick to my rule of buying each veggie by itself because it's usually cheaper, but this one was a no-brainer, just the broccoli alone was $1.99 per head and I just needed a few tops and stems. Same with everything else.
Combination Stir Fry with BBQ Peanut Sauce Recipe, a homemade meal better than take out! Make this delicious meal in no time with whatever you have left in your fridge. #stirfry

In my fridge I found 1 lonely chicken breast, left from a package of 5, a handful of shrimp and 2 thin cut boneless pork chops, I already had a supply of sauces and condiments from previous visits to take outs ( I know laugh, but they come in handy sometimes) and who doesn't have peanut butter in the pantry?

After a 30 minutes you end up with a flavorful stir fry for almost nothing! You have used some of your leftovers without repeating a meal and creating something worth of the best take out place in town!
The peanuts were an impulse buy at the dollar store, saw a bag of BBQ peanuts and bought 2 for $1 never knowing what I was going to use them for...perfect crunchy element for my stir fry!


Do you check the "manager's special" at your local grocery store? How often do you buy or do you just pass them? I'm  thinking of doing this more often if the value and quality are there and try to create something good for almost nothing.
Combination Stir Fry with BBQ Peanut Sauce Recipe, not enough chicken to feed your o 4 but plenty of veggies left? Give this recipe a try. All the flavors of your favorite take out only better and for a lot less! #stirfry

For this dish the only thing I bought was  the stir fry mix for $1.69!!! Score!
Combination Stir Fry with BBQ Peanut Sauce Recipe, better than take out and for a lot less, this stir fry is made with whatever you have left in your fridge and infused with exotic flavor thanks to the humble Peanut Butter!

Thank  You for visiting the blog today! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend in anticipation to the big day to come. Remember friends, everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love!


Besitos,
