French Bean Stir Fry

I lay here on the South Beach aka SoBe in Miami, as I write this blog. This recipe was prepared previously.

Yesterday we had been to Key West, utlimate tip of Florida Keys. Reached there at lunch time after the most beautiful drive ever surrounded by crystal clear water on both sides. Had the most wonderful Thai food at a floating restaurant, the reviews to be followed in a few days.

We cycled around the island and went to the beach for a while and floated in lazy refreshing waters on Higgs Beach.

Like this was not enough, we went to the coral reef in a glass bottom cruise and watched the most beautiful sunset of my life. As I told my husband, now I don't have any regrets in life :)

This recipe is a different stir fried method which can be enjoyed with chapatis or rice. Enjoy life folks!
