Vegan stir fry

Vegan stir fry: use all those fresh in-season veggies! Use organic if possible-but go local and fresh!

1) Container of organic tofu-we used silken firm for this, but others work fine

2) 2 cups of zucchini

3) 1 cup fresh green beans

4) 1 cup fresh broccoli 

5) 1 onion<br/>

6) 2 c beets greens (or any greens you have on hand)

7) 2 cloves garlic 

8) 2 tsp fresh ginger, grated

9) sesame oil, soy sauce, and brown rice vinegar (or regular rice vinegar) to taste

10) siracha-to taste

-sauté onion in a little sesame oil

-add tofu and zucchini 

-splash in vinegar (around 1 tbsp) and soy sauce to taste (around 2 tbsps)

-add remaining veggies, ginger, &amp; garlic until just cooked (greens wilt and broccoli becomes vibrant green) 

-add siracha to taste (if wanted) 

-serve on top of brown rice or organic buckwheat noodles

*stir- fry is a fast &amp; easy dinner. This recipe can incorporate any in-season vegetable assortment. Enjoy!

Recipe: Greens and Beans

Greens and Beans-looking for an easy dinner? This one was thrown together in a flash.  

Place the following into a bowl per person:

• Bowl full of fresh organic greens (kale was used in this bowl)
• 1/2 small organic (in season) tomato
• 1/2-3/4 c of organic chick peas/garbanzo (so easy to make your own or buy canned)

1. Heat above in microwave about 2 minutes, and stir (greens will wilt)
2. Add fresh herbs if you choose-we added some left over grilled zucchini and stir (cook until desired temp)
3. Add some salt and pepper
4. We added a little parmesan cheese-can go cheese-less if vegan
5. Voila! Meal in an instant and nothing came prepared-with no added fat (if parm is omitted), high in protein and vitamins

Nutritional info: chick peas are high in protein-essential for healing and re-building tissues.  Greens provide calcium and iron-also important in the proper formation of bones, teeth, and gums, as well as aiding in the healing process.  Tomatoes are high in lycopene-which is a carotenoid linked to improving cardiovascular health, combating diabetes, and cancer.
