Busy night? Nutritious dinners are sometimes the last thing on your mind when your schedule is jam-packed. Don’t settle for fast food with questionable ingredients or takeout that gets cold and mushy by the time you get home. You deserve better! Set aside ten minutes to make this simple but nutritious vegetable stir-fry, loaded with fresh, colorful vegetables. This recipe works well with many sauces, like tamari, coconut aminos, sweet chili sauce and teriyaki, but I like it best with my zesty citrus glaze.
