Stir Fry Medley Recipe

I live for easy, simple recipes that are actually good. Don't get me wrong I love making a good meal, but sometimes I just want to be in the kitchen for a few minutes and still get a good meal. So that's where this stir fry medley comes in.

I was at Walmart doing some grocery shopping yesterday and saw this bag for only $2.50. Sure I could just buy fresh veggies and make a lot more, but I was kind of experimenting with this because *gasp* I've never made this before!

The think about this whole recipe is that you can make it your own. You can eat this cold, hot, and add whatever you want to it. Nothing is off limits here! I used 3 simple things here
  • Stir fry medley
  • Soy sauce (optional)
  • Water
That's it! read more to see what I did.



Your two main ingredients.


Directions. You can microwave this also, but every time tastes better on a stove.


Nutrition. Only 30 calories a serving! The whole bag is only 120 calories, not bad at all


I added a little water and vegetable oil, the oil is optional you can just use water


Don't have a steamer? I don't either you can do this if you have a lid with holes on the side (mainly used for draining pasta) just let this set for 3-4 minutes or longer if you like your veggies soft like me.


When its just about done splash a little soy sauce on there for flavor


Now you can eat! Simple right? Now you can add chicken to this, even rice if you want. This is just a quick way to get some good healthy lunch. Hope you enjoyed!

Healthy Easy Snack or Meal Recipe


I came across a picture on fitsugar.com and it showed some ham with egg in it, baked inside of a muffin tin. I thought "what a great idea for a snack!" so I picked up a muffin tin (Im probably the only person who did not own a muffin tin before today) and decided to give it a try. Here is what I used but you can easily use any meat you want, and any condiment.
  • Turkey (great value brand is only 20 calories a slice)
  • Egg Beaters (this is a great alternative to eggs, but you can use eggs in a shell)
  • Salsa (I had some salsa in a can and used that, but you can use any kind of salsa you want or none)
Directions
  • Coat muffin pan with a non stick spray
  • Fold turkey in half place in muffin tin
  • Put one serving of egg beaters (3 table spoons) or one egg into the turkey
  • Then put one table spoon of salsa into the egg beaters
  • Put in the oven at 400 degrees let cook for 10-15 minutes, maybe longer depending on how well cooked you want your meat
Thats it! You can eat these right out of the oven (be careful!) or put them in the fridge for a cold snack. I had them hot and cold and they are good either way. I had 2 and they are pretty filling and the best part of all is that each one is only about 60 calories!

You can add spinach or any other veggie. you can also leave out the salsa, or ad a milder one. This is a recipe where you cant really go wrong! these could also work as party favors, or get your kids to help you make up their own concoctions, they'll love it!

I hope you enjoyed this healthy easy recipe. Hopefully I'll have more in the future.

Guacamole Recipe

I just recently started making guacamole that was actually eatable lol. Once you make a good guacamole, you'll never buy that nasty pre made store crap again. Actually once you learn to make anything it will taste better then pre made store crap, but anyway. I love guacamole, and my husband loves it even more. We love it as a snack, on tacos, in a salad, basically you can have it on anything, and make your food taste better. Enough rambling let me tell you how I make it. It's very easy, I'm all about easy recipes because I don't want to be in the kitchen for hours. There's so many ways to make it your own so you can use my recipe, take stuff away, add to it, whatever floats your boat. Here's what you'll need.

4 avocados
1 lime (2 if they're really small)
1/2 red onion
1 garlic
1 Roma tomato
Cilantro (add as little or as many leaves as you want)
Ground pepper and salt

1. Mash avocados in a bowl, but leave a little chunky
2. Add lime juice
3. Add everything else and mix together.
4. Refrigerate for 30 mins to an hours. Make sure you eat right away so it doesn't turn brown

And that's it! Nothing to it. You can even add some bacon to mix things up a little.
