We were even able to find places with healthier options, which isn’t always easy when eating out. We’re so excited to share our picks for best spots to eat—and what to order—in this post!

🥦🧅 🫑 We've been trying to eat more fruits 🥦🧅 🫑 We've been trying to eat more fruits and vegetables while we're back home and this stir fry was so good. I just heated a variety of veggies (broccoli, carrots, bell pepper, mushrooms, snap peas, onions, and asparagus) and stir fried them with just a teaspoon of sesame oil and some vegetable broth to prevent it from sticking to the pan. I made a light sauce from vegetable broth, low-sodium soy sauce, miran, red pepper flakes, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch. So good! We had the homemade egg rolls in the freezer that we made from leftover egg roll in a bowl a few weeks ago. We just heated those in the air fryer instead of frying them. This was a delicious and satisfying meal and I could have again and again. How do you get more vegetables into your diet? #healthyliving #travelwell #vegetables #stirfry
