It looked like a wasteland in there -- little bits of things, but nothing individually substantial enough for dinner. I was about to give up and go out for sushi instead.
Then I eyed the black-eyed peas, brown rice, seitan and fresh spinach ... and TA-DA! Cajun stir-fry.
First I sauteed some diced onion and minced garlic in some veggie broth, then added chunks of seitan. I threw in the black-eyed peas and brown rice with about half a can of diced tomatoes, as well as a few pinches of a cajun spice mixture, and let that simmer for a couple minutes. Finally I added a fistful of fresh spinach and stir-fried everything until the leaves wilted.
Dinner was on the table in less than 10 minutes. I'm not even kidding. It was really delicious too.
I wish my boyfriend would leave more often!

I love the nights when I just get to cook for myself. I feel so much less pressure and really just have fun (or I take a break and have a bowl of cereal!).
Congrats on the innovative Cajun Stir Fry. It looks delish!
Maggie,
Thanks for your kind comments on my blog about Athens vegan/vegetarian stuff (VegginOut). I hope you have a good time on your visit to the alma mater. Be aware that some places do shut down for renovations/vacations in August, but there still should be a few good ones open for you to try.
