Beef Stir Fry with Parpadelle Noodles

I am a super huge fan of Thanksgiving leftovers but here is my thing.  I like them exactly as they are on Thanksgiving.  No fancy, new recipe for making the leftovers into some creative dish. I want the turkey,  cranberry relish, sweet potato casserole, and stuffing the same way as I had the original.  And that is exactly what I did this year.  In fact I did it two times over.  It was wonderful.  I had my full.  Now it is is time to move on.

And move on we did.  Mr. J style.  My little mini break from work is completely over and I have three weeks of non-stop meeting and trips across the East coast.  To help makes this a bit easier Mr. J is taking on dinner (and cleaning even though I have yet to inform him) duties.

The first meal up was a winner. I think I can get some of the credit because the star of this show was the noodles I picked up from TJ's.  I think they may be my new favorite thing. The parpadelle noodles are thick and yummy all around.  Perfect for soaking up the stir-fry sauce.  See this is clearly something I deserve credit
for.

As for the chopping and the meal itself.  Well, that goes to Mr. J.
