Whether you’re a new mom, a fresh-out-of-high-school college student, or a millennial working 40-60 hour weeks, these will quickly become your lifeline.
You can prepare these packs on the weekend – it will take you no time – then take them out of the fridge and cook immediately.
This is my favorite stir-fry sauce.
The shrimp will marinate while they are frozen.

One bell pepper, chopped

16 ounces of broccoli florets

Reduced sodium soy sauce, three tablespoons
Two tablespoons of oyster sauce
1 Tablespoon rice wine vinegar
