Wednesday night eggplant stir fry fast dinner idea!

In life there is always time for a glimmer of hope and peace, even if just for a moment. Find even a few minutes to decompress and align your mind. Living in busy NYC I have become the master of 15 minute zen out times. In a taxi, while waiting on line at a store, and even while cooking. My favorite way to carve out time is by making really quick dinners so that I have extra time later for myself. This week spend sometime figuring out what you do in the day that can be a moment to yourself. Comment below and lets help each other make our day more peaceful.

This recipe is dedicated to me and Tom’s Sunday night take out place in NYC Pinch Chinese. Growing up Chinese food was always tradition in my family! So I wanted to make a homemade version for us to have together too! Cheers to recipes that inspire and celebrate you!

You really do get paid to shop! I love:
