Ingredients:
- 1 cup of mixed veggies (think broccoli, bell peppers, and a mysterious veggie that’s probably kale)

- 1 tbsp olive oil (our apologies, coconut oil fans)
Instructions:
- Heat the oil in a pan because that's what Jamie Oliver would probably do.
- Add the tofu (or chicken), and let them sizzle like the sassy you in pre-baby days.
- Toss in your mixed veggies and sprinkle with soy sauce like you’re casting spells in Witches of Eastwick.
- Stir with the energy of telling a toddler they're on nap number two.
- Serve hot with a side of ‘me time’ (optional but highly encouraged).
