Being an empty nester has its perks, one of which is making whatever the heck you want for dinner, and Ree Drummond is taking full advantage of that when she can. On a recent evening alone (even without her husband Ladd), she whipped up one of her favorites, which she called "just a simple summer solo supper." (Say that five times fast!)
You might be surprised to hear that it's vegetarian friendly. (If anyone has known Ree for awhile, you'll know she was a vegetarian in her early twenties!) So, Ree took the opportunity to make what others on the internet might refer to as her "girl dinner." It's an all-time favorite, veggie stir-fry, and she shared the process in a new video.
Well hello, summer veggies! And notice how fast her prep work went? That's thanks in part to her handy dandy food chopper that diced everything from zucchini to red onion in mere seconds and made it a cinch to toss it in pan to sauté right from the container. It's part of her newly revamped Pioneer Woman collection, as were all the other items she used in the process from said pan to her plate.
But back to the stir-fry for a moment. Though simple, it's actually quite flavorful and satisfying. "I could eat it every day for the rest of my life," Ree once said. Plus it takes a mere 16 minutes to prepare. Serve it over rice like she does in video or noodles or "eat it straight out of the skillet," as she jokingly notes in the recipe. (But seriously, you can.)
If you're in the mood for a quick and healthy dinner, solo or with the family, you've found it! Oh, and since so many comments on the video asked about the gadgets she used, here they are―all available at Walmart right now.
