If I’m looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, stir fry almost always pops into my mind. You can really save time by buying pre-cut veggies or even a pre-assembled stir fry veggie mixes at Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s. If you do, make sure to pick up a mango during your next shopping trip. The sweet/sour flavor of this tasty tropical fruit is a GREAT addition to stir fry. Mangoes also add vitamin C and some extra carbohydrate for all you active people. Get yer Carbs!

Please excuse this ridiculously poor excuse for a picture. I promise this tastes really yummy. This was a quick snapshot so I wouldn’t forget the ingredients. Ultimately, I forgot to get a nice “glamour” shot to share with you all.

Sometimes food isn’t glamorous, it’s just delicious. I think that’s good enough for me most days.
