That’s it – that’s the whole post. Voting is one way to make our voices heard. I have to say this election feels especially important with so many critical issues on the ballot from women’s rights to healthcare to the environment and everything in-between. I may be naive but I believe that each and every vote counts and I, for one, am voting like my life, my children’s lives and my future grandchildren’s lives depend on it.

One small way I can make your day easier tomorrow is to share a quick, delicious recipe. This excellent Egg Roll in a Bowl is a family favorite and comes together in about 20 minutes. As a bonus, if, like me, and you will spend the evening watching election results, this bowl is perfect to eat in front of the TV.

Prep Time 15

Cook Time 20

Ingredients

1 tablespoon avocado oil or other light oil
1 bunch scallions chopped – white & green parts separated
3 cloves garlic chopped
1 tablespoon fresh ginger chopped finely
1 pound ground pork or ground turkey
1 bag fresh coleslaw mix or 10 oz cabbage
1 large carrot shredded
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
3 tablespoons Hoisin Sauce I find a GF version at the Asian market
1 large lime
1-2 large Thai chilies chopped (optional)

Instructions

Set your fresh ingredients out and ready – this stir fry goes fast
Heat the avocado oil in a wok or large, flat skillet and add the white parts of the scallions and ginger – cook until soft – about 3 minutes
Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds
Add the pork and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until it is no longer pink and had a bit of lovely brown char – 5-6 minutes
Add the soy sauce and sesame oil and cook for a couple of minutes to let the flavors meld
Add the coleslaw mix and carrots (you can just use the coleslaw mix, but I love the extra carrots). Cover and cook until the cabbage and carrots just lose their raw flavor – 3-4 minutes
Add the Hoisin sauce and simmer for a couple more minutes
Add the green parts of the scallions
Give it all a good squeeze of lime
Serve with rice (or cauliflower rice) and a big wedge of lime – YUM!
