Spring Freshness - Week 2 - Black rice noodle shrimp and vegetable stir fry

Spring is here!!! Some of the many things things I love about spring are that beautiful shade of green the grass takes on after a long and sometimes gray winter, the beautiful wildflowers as they burst into color, the warm sunny days, the fresh evening breeze, but most of all, I love how suddenly there is an abundance of fresh vegetables, fruits and herbs in dazzling vibrant colors. Spring makes me think of quick, healthy and delicious salads and soups. I am kicking off spring with my spring freshness series. I will be sharing several healthy, fresh and delicious recipes which will dazzle your taste buds, but go easy on your waistline as swim season rolls around. Today I will be sharing my recipe for black rice noodle shrimp and vegetable stir-fry. Enjoy!!
