A Pork Stir-Fry that’s Looking Out for # 1…That’s You!
If you’re:
Craving something spicy, salty, sweet, savory and sour
Watching your weight
Short on time
Not getting enough veggies
A person who feasts with their eyes
OR
Interested in covering all the bases at once
Then go with a stir-fry! This Pork and Peanut Stir-Fry with carrots, beans and bright red bell peppers just might do the trick.
And if:
You’re a rock’n roll fan who prefers a jazz-infused mood while cooking, then Bachman Turner Overdrive’s tune “Lookin' Out For No.1” will definitely suit your tastes. Randy Bachman apparently came up with this fantastic song after becoming friends with a jazz artist in Toronto who taught him some jazz chords. It's brilliant!
It's a cooking experience filled with good food and a mood that'll keep you looking after number one…and that’s you!
