Stir fry veggies

Here's a healthy quick meal and again use whatever you like. I used asparagus, carrots, scallions and some garlic. 

Slice up all your veggies so they are about the same size. I like the carrots on the diagonal. I think they are prettier that way.

Add some fine chopped garlic.
Toss everything in a pan with some oil. I used some olive and some sesame oil for a little Asian flavor.

You can adapt this to whatever flavors you like. Any veggies and oils. Make it how you will like it. I am a pasta lover so I cooked some up and put it all together, you can put it on rice as well. It makes it a little heartier. I sprinkled some sesame seeds on top and voila!!! Dinner.
