Easy Ingredients From Walmart

I love that these ingredients can easily be found at Walmart. The bag of frozen vegetables is one of my favorites. Here’s the deal, when you use frozen vegetables you are getting a double whammy of a great deal!

Not only are you getting vegetables that have been picked at their peak of freshness, but they are already washed and chopped for you! It’s the perfect deal for this healthy vegetable stir fry, and will only cost you $2.33 per bag! Definitely keep a few bags on hand in your freezer for this quick fix meal.

Pineapple is a must for this dish, especially with kids. My kids love this dish, but the highlight is definitely the pineapple and the tofu! Make sure you look for pineapple in juice, not syrup to keep it healthy. Fresh pineapple can most definitely be used, just make sure you have some pineapple juice for the sauce.

Simple Tofu Recipe

If you’d like to try tofu, this is a great time to give it a shot. My kids absolutely love tofu! I always have to double the amount because we tend to run out if I don’t.

1. Simply add 2-3 Tbsp. soy sauce and 2-3 Tbsp. pure maple syrup to a bag.
2. Add cubed tofu, and marinate in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours if you can, but 30 minutes would work too.
3. Bake tofu on a parchment lined cookie sheet at 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
