Nutrition on a budget project: stir fry

My newest tip for the nutrition on a budget project is a look at stir frys.

This favorite of mine is a great way to get more veggies and protein into your diet. It also can be quickly remixed throughout the week to be several different meals.

Get creative with your approaches to stir fry meals. Canned or frozen sliced vegetables can be inexpensively tossed into a skillet. Try water chestnuts, sliced fruit, tofu, beef or chicken are among the few different add-ins.

Consider making your own sauces to change the taste up, all inexpensive options. Stir fry veggies with barbecue sauce to top sandwiches, or experiment with tropical juices, honey or ketchup.

You can also try a dessert stir fry with sliced fruits, oatmeal, a pinch of sugar and honey.
