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.
