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!

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.

Best wishes to Katie and her husband on their upcoming bundle!
