8/19/09 Thin sliced Pork Stir Fry

Today I finally get myself to the grocery store.... such a love hate relationship! I love shopping and finding fun ingredients but unfortunately I don't love my local options. I try to work my schedule so I am able to hit up some of my favorite markets in the area but this week I was stuck with A&P. Since the fish didn't look very appetizing I went with some grass fed pork thin sliced pork chops and tried to use up some of the veggies I had sitting around. Again the lemon basil was the star! I love the fresh crisp taste of it

This easy stir fry only took a few minutes of prep which was a good thing as after visiting A&P, going on a run with Jeremy and hitting the Farmer's market (mmm more fresh peaches) it was a getting late. We also had a small fresh tomato salad (tomatoes, olive oil, balsamic, salt and pepper) to start.
