Cook Book Tuesday

Making it Vegan Stir Fry
You can add any veggies you want
but what I am doing is this..
Fresh brussel sprouts (8) sliced in half
Fresh broccoli (small head)
Fresh cauliflower (half head)
Sliced fresh yellow pepper (1)
6 garlic cloves diced
1/4 cup olive oil
1 small yellow onion chopped
Sea salt to taste
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
Fresh ground black pepper to taste
Half a package of firm tofu cut into chucks
Chicken less chicken strips (yes chicken less chicken, this recipe is vegan)

Sautee in a wok or large skillet olive oil, brussel sprouts, garlic and onion just til sprouts get slightly brown then add all remaining veggies, sautee just til slightly tender, add tofu, chicken less chicken strips, salt, pepper and teriyaki sauce. Mix and let simmer for approx 5 minutes and serve with a side of Quinoa.

This meal is crazy high in protein and super yummy.
Where do you get chicken less chicken you ask? Thought I forgot to mention it huh? Well, Trader Joes sells meatless meat and so does Whole Foods. Of course you can use regular meat but then it won't be vegan.
Wanna lose weight, have great looking skin, lose weight, have shinny hair oh and lose weight???
Go vegan for a week..You will thank me for it. Oh heck, can't commit to a week? Try 1 full day for starters..
Let me know what you think...
