This week's Craving Ellie recipe, Sesame Stir-Fried Chinese Greens, was chosen by Apple Crumbles. You can find the recipe there. It was a really easy recipe- your choice of napa cabbage or bok choy, which you stir-fry and then add rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Simple and quick. Just how I like it. Oh, and you top it off with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds. I was fixing a stir-fry to go with it and as I was preparing the stir-fry, I realized that the sauce for the stir-fry was exactly the same as the Chinese Greens. Perfect! I decided to include that recipe too, since that is what we had for dinner. The stir-fry was served over quinoa- I used a combination of normal and red quinoa. It was delicious. I also added a yellow and orange pepper for more color and nutrition.
My hubby also made a request for his favorite treat before he left a couple days ago. He loves Cheesecake Pops. I have made them at least 5 times since I tried them for the first time with the Daring Bakers last April. He wanted to take them to work and I made the leftover cheesecake into cheesecake cups. So, you have the healthy dinner and the decadent dessert. But, luckily the decadent dessert was made for other people to enjoy. Hope you try some of these delicious dishes!

Looks delicious. Glad the recipe worked out well with your main dish plans.Thanks for cooking along.
Love the stir fry! I will have to try it with quinoa. The pops are so fun!!
Can I just say I love your blog. I just absolutely love it!
This all looks AMAZING, as always, Mare! I missed the greens, this week has been crazy (of course, on crazy weeks I need easy recipes like these greens!) but wow, they look great! You stirfry sounds fabulous too, and those cheesecake pops! Oh, those would be dangerous for me. I'd be lulled by the apparent built-in portion control into eating too many.
All of that looks delicious. I like that you added some things to the bok choy. mine sure needed something. Love the cheesecake pops!
This dish looks so tasty. And the cheesecake pop is definitely a party on a stick!
Everything looks absolutely delicious. I've been wanting to try those cheesecake pops, but I know I need to wait for an occasion. Otherwise, all of my healthy eating will be for nothing! I'm looking forward to next week, too. It'll be my first try with fish tacos!
The stir-fry looks and sounds delicious. And the cheesecake pops! Wow, they're gorgeous.
That stir fry looks great! It's funny, I immediately thought about adding tofu to this one but didn't have any. Love the cheesecake pops, too!

I have yet to make these since the DB challenge... I ate sooo much of it while trying to roll it into balls. They were really fun looking in the end though.
