lol me too, thats why I started this, but it seems to be going so slow.

I made a really good stir fry while I was still pregnant.. but there's not like, a set recipe. I just kinda.. did it on my own.
At Woodmans they have a stir fry veggie package by the fresh veggies.. it just comes in a bag, all kinds of veggies. And tofu. I crumbled up a package of extra firm tofu and let it soak in some stir fry sauce (they've got an asian food isle or something like that at woodmans. it's the original stir fry flavor.. but you could really use whatever flavor you want, they've got lots to choose from) for a couple hours in the fridge. Put some oil in a pan.. I don't remember if I used vegetable oil or olive oil.. probably vegetable oil. Saute the veggies and tofu until the veggies are tender.. when they're almost done, add some more stir fry sauce. Serve over white rice.. or whatever kind of rice. It was sooooo good.
