easy-peasy stir fry

this is my go-to stirfry for quick easy lunch or a pre-weigh in dinner.

frozen onions
frozen pepper mix
frozen green beans
frozen broccoli florets
2/3 cup of barley or cous cous, precooked (see below)
low sodium soy sauce
spray olive oil
your favorite seasoning mixes (i like pepper, minced onion, ginger, table blend seasoning)


spray a skillet with olive oil. place all frozen veggies in skillet. cook on medium high until veggies are cooked through (be careful not to overcook) add about 5 splashes of soy sauce to mix. add in balery or cous cous and let cook through, about 2 minutes.

POINTS value: 2 points




To cook pearled barley: bring about 2.5 cups of water to a boil. add in 1 cup of barley and let it cook for up to 45 minutes until tender.
To cook cous cous: bring 2 cups of water toa boil. Add 1 cup cous cous and take off of heat. Let stand for about 2-3 minutes as it plumps.

I like to make these two things ahead of time and add them to stir fry, as side dishes, to chicken broth, etc. By the way, barley is a great way to get some extra fiber in your diet!
