A family favourite child friendly recipe make over

We eat this simple satay stir fry recipe all the time. It was one of the first recipes I posted on my blog as it has always been one of my favourites. In the past 18 months I have learnt a touch more about blogging, a pinch more about taking pictures (still a lot more to go) and a heap more about websites so over the next few months you will see some of my old favourites getting a face lift.

A simple family friendly meal. Bright and colourful and well loved by my peanut butter loving kids. I like it because it is super quick to make, is packed full of vegetables and subtle spices that my kids really like, and I really like satay too.. so a definite crowd pleaser.
