Weekday mornings are hectic... :-)
I have to cook, take care of the livestock, then get ready to go to
work as I work swing shifts. Stir fry's are nutritious, convenient,
and the variety of meats and veggies you can use in them makes them in
interesting meal. I do them a LOT! Leftover stir fry becomes omlettes
or frittatas.

I don't have much time in the mornings. I have more time on weekends
or sometimes I'll pre-prepare some stuff the night before right before
I go to bed.

It's a matter of WHEN you have the time. :-)
