    My husband and I love stir fries. I love to cook all sorts of types of stir fries. I chicken, shrimp, or beef. I'll use any kind of veggies in my stir fries. I love using sweet chilli sauce and an orange sauce in my stir fries.

Welcome to Grab a Plate!

Growing up surrounded by my Italian family it was always, "grab a plate" whenever anyone came to visit. Food was always a celebration, even everyday meals, and I like it that way. I try to make each meal memorable with my recipes for mainly meatless, mostly healthy, and easy-to-make dishes (with sweet treats in between).
