My husband and I are trying to eat more vegetarian meals and what better and easier way to serve them than to stir-fry vegetables in a wok.  It’s fast, low calorie, and keeps the nutrients inherent in the fresh veggies.  But the dishes can easily come out all tasting the same if you don’t flavor them with different sauces.  Here are five easy ones you can inexpensively make at home and save money on expensive store-bought brands.

Now that we’ve used up our sour milk in our Sour Milk – Use or Toss? Challenge, let’s talk about how you can reuse that milk container for other purposes. Did you know that milk jugs represent one of the largest volume of plastics in landfills?

For those of you just joining this post series, our challenge was to cook with 1/2 gallon of milk that had slightly soured rather than waste money by pouring it down the drain, thereby supporting our goal of saving money and frugal shopping. Where many of you wouldn’t hesitate to dump sour milk down the drain, we made 5 delicious meals, and only used ingredients that were already in my pantry or refrigerator.

And still we have milk! This is Day 3 of the challenge to use up 1/2 gallon of slightly sour milk so you don’t have to toss it.

Tonight we’re having Spinach Ravioli with Alfredo Sauce.
