March 28th. This is a really exciting day for me you guys!

Heathermade has launched in every Costco warehouse in the 6 states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Utah and Alaska! I can’t believe it.

Look for Heathermade in the fresh baked goods aisle (like where they sell the sandwich bread) in your local Costco and pick some up!

Veggie Stir Fry from HeatherChristo.com.jpg

Ok, so now comes Veggie Stir Fry. Easy, totally delicious and meatless on Monday. We eat less and less meat when I can get away with it. Pia is about a hair’s breadth away from becoming an ethical vegan and Coco is a hard core carnivore that looks at Pia like she is crazy when she starts crying over whatever animal protein is on the table. So, it is interesting to walk that line of being respectful to both. Suggestions anyone?

In the meantime, as these children are busy forming their very LARGE personalities, I toe the line and make sure that they get a delicious, nutritious dinner. Stir Fry is my new best friend. It has magically made Coco start eating copious amounts of vegetables that she would literally NEVER eat otherwise. I can’t say that I totally understand, but I am not arguing- I find it to be incredible.

Often we add chicken, shrimp or pork (I will show you some of our other versions soon), but this time, I wanted to try it just veggies. The result is wonderful and still filling and satisfying. Try this for your family and see if they even notice that there is no meat!
