Italian Style Stir Fry

This Italian Style Stir Fry comes together so quick and easy – it’s perfect for weeknight’s when you are trying to eat healthy and get dinner on the table!

This Italian Style Stir Fry is full of veggies and quick to put together for a weeknight meal. Serve over brown rice or quinoa with a dash of hot sauce!If you didn’t already notice, some of my blogging buddies are having babies. Quite a few actually. It’s awesome and I absolutely love when I hear of another preggo joining the bunch, especially the first time moms!

Today we are celebrating my friend Katie and her soon-to-be baby boy! I’ve know Katie a few years now, she lives in the Central Florida area like me so I’ve had the opportunity to spend time with her a few times. Katie is as sweet as they come (extremely talented too!) and I can’t wait to meet her little guy soon. (PS…I’m not kidding when I say she’s talented, just check out her beautiful food blog Katie’s Cucina and her and her husband’s DIY blog Sew Woodsy – awesome stuff!)

Since becoming a new mom can sometimes mean a little less time and less energy to get dinner on the table every night, I am sharing an easy dinner recipe for Italian Style Stir Fry that I find myself throwing together for my family quite often. It’s one that everyone in the family enjoys so of course that’s a winner in my book.

I always keep precooked chicken sausages for quick throw together recipes just like this one. I picked these up – along with a couple other varieties – at Costco and I can’t tell you how often they have saved the day at dinnertime. Serve this Italian inspired “stir fry” over brown rice or orzo for a healthy easy weeknight meal.
