Easy meals for military families?!

My all time favorite vegetarian meal that is also loved by meat lovers is tofu vegetable stir fry. Get a package of firm or extra-firm tofu and drain it. Marinate it in BBQ sauce or soy sauce or teriyaki sauce or whatever kind of vegetarian sauce you think they would like. Marinate for as little as ten minutes or as long as overnight. Get any veggies that can be stir fried. I use broccoli, red bell peppers, carrots, mini corns, water chestnuts, squash, zucchini, onions, snap peas (or green beans). You can use anything. After the tofu is marinated and the veggies are cut up into bite-size pieces, throw about a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet and let it heat on medium-high to high. Throw in the densest veggies first (broccoli, carrots) and give them a head start. I know that if I throw everything in at once, the broccoli and carrots are not cooked enough when everything else is done. Be mindful and stir as often as you can so they don't burn. Throw the rest of the veggies and the tofu in. You can cook uncovered (or covered for a steamed veggie stir fry) until everything is soft enough to poke with a fork but not overly mushy. It really doesn't take long to cook-5 to 10 minutes. This can be served over rice or pasta. I always eat mine with mei fun noodles or egg noodles.

This is a very nice thing you are doing! I have so many great vegetarian and vegan recipes. Let me know if you would like more!
