West Virginia Day Stir Fry & Panhandle Cut-outs

I love making melon cookie cutter shapes and the West Virginia cutter is used appropriately on this 152nd birthday of our beautiful state!  While melon is not yet available at the local farmers market, I gathered squash, carrots, garlic scapes and cauliflower from local farmers markets for today's stir fry.  The recipe was inspired by Clean Eating magazine.
