Question for the Cooks on my list

[velvetpage]

First, let me say I'm an indifferent cook. I grew up in a household where vegetables came either from the freezer via the microwave, or from a can via a pot on the stove. When I got married, I had to learn to cook veggies to make them palatable, and I had to get more of them into my diet than I grew up with.

I have recently developed an easy stir-fry veggie recipe involving green pepper (or another colour when I can afford it), onion, zucchini, and mushrooms. I cook these in a stir-fry pan with a bit of grapeseed or olive oil, and just about the time the mushrooms are done, I add some Club House Lemon and Herb seasoning. Sometimes I add egg or sausage, sometimes I do these on the side. It's easy, and even the baby gobbles them up.

The problem is, I'm bored with it. My question is: what can I do to change the flavour and/or texture, that will not add either a lot of time/steps to preparation or a lot of spices that Elizabeth won't like?

Any and all suggestions appreciated.

Try teriyaki sauce. Commercial ones are sweet, salty, and inexpensive, and I think babies usualy like them. Rhys does!

Try green beans or peas in it as well.

I've been avoiding green beans and peas, because they were staples of the freezer veggie diet and I grew to hate them. Still . . . fresh ones might work better than the frozen kind.

I've tried the teriyaki sauces once or twice. They usually suggest you put way more in than I think this recipe would really need. I'll try them again. Thanks!
