Directions
Please note the cooking time actually varies because I cooked the vegetables, the rice and the actual meal seperately.
Vegetable cooking time: 30-45 minutes
Rice: 20-30 minutes (depends on your package)
Meal: 30 minutes

Cook the rice according to your brown rice packaging.
Slice and chop all vegetables to your liking.

Cook the carrots, broccoli, corn to the consistancy you like them, mine were still a bit firm.

When ready to make the meal:
Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a wok, add spices, put in chopped onions and crushed and chopped garlic. Saute for about five minutes. Add bell peppers and red peppers to saute, cook for about three minutes. Then add squash and zucchini cook for at least 15 minutes (cook to your liking). Next add the cooked vegetable and rice. Stir together until you're happy with the mixture.

Serve in 1 cup servings and enjoy. It's enough to make ahead and freeze for lunches during the week.
