Pork chop strips with onions and mushrooms can be perfect for a low mobility day. This dish can incorporate leftovers, perhaps diced by a person with more mobility. Some days, it's important to take things as they really are that day and not push yourself too much. On those days, a stir fry for breakfast can be a perfect meal, full of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and needed fats. Caramelized onions and salty mushrooms enhance the appetite and encourage a productive day, and your strength may even improve later. Any leftovers will make a quick lunch or breakfast the following day.
