One of my favorite things to do is create a last-minute healthy recipe with ingredients I already have in my kitchen. I think about the protein, grain, and vegetables I have and then try and tie them together to come up with something simple and delicious. This time it turned out to be quinoa, chicken, and oriental-style frozen vegetables. This shows that you can pretty much take anything and turn it into a healthy stir fry. Check it out!
