Wow, what a weekend! I realize it’s Tuesday, just kidding, it’s Wednesday. See, how messed up my schedule is? Either way, Expo West ended up being a lot of fun. I met some amazing bloggers, tasted some great products and overall had a good time checking everything out. But, right now I’m going through VYA Post-Expo syndrome; meaning, after eating samples all day for three or four days, cooking has become “inconvenient”. Ridiculous, right?

This means, that I’m gettin’ back into the groove of things this week; starting with this super easy recipe that uses Spring produce and great Asian flavors. I always recommend stir fries and sautes to people who are just getting into (vegan) cooking. It’s really easy to go by taste and looks with these types of dishes because there’s not a lot of chemistry involved, unlike baking.

In this case, we have some crunchy snap peas, fresh asparagus and a salty-sweet Hoisin sauce; combine that with only a couple more ingredients and BAM! You have dinner. Don’t you love it, when food is that easy?
