Summertime Vegetarian Stir Fry

July 17, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 19 Comments

Hi Everyone!

Today is a special treat that I am excited to share with you!  I’ve signed up for the Bay Area Food Blogger’s Farmer’s Market Dinner Party! What does that mean? It means that myself along with some local food bloggers are going to share with you recipes using fresh produce from the Farmers Market. My group was assigned Vegetarian Entree. There were so many recipes that I wanted to make, but I decided on making a simple, wonderful, healthy Summertime Vegetarian Stir Fry.
Summertime Vegetarian Stir Fry
This stir fry is so fresh, light and has they perfect blend of vegetables and herbs. It’s not your typical Chinese stir fry but more of an Italian style. It’s made with onions, sweet Italian peppers, zucchini, corn, tomatoes, parsley and basil. I served it on a bed of brown rice, but honestly it would be great tossed in pasta, on top of quinoa or simply just as a side dish.
Summertime Vegetarian Stir Fry
I have to tell you, which kind of surprised me, but I loved the corn in this dish. Actually the corn and the tomatoes. But in all honesty all of the ingredients went so well together. Normally you top a stir fry with a sauce, but I really wanted to enjoy the flavors of my vegetables since this is the time of year they taste best.  really, nothing beats them!

    This looks perfect for a summer evening, and such a brilliant expression of the market. This time of year it’s hard to resist anything with corn. And the basil — a beautiful crowning touch. Lovely sharing dinner with you!

    This recipe is SO good! My husband makes us dinner on Sunday nights and he made it last week. It was so good, my son and I requested we have it again last night. It’s so great! And perfect to go along with our CSA bounty. 🙂 The only thing he does different is he chops up the tomatoes a little smaller. It’s our new favorite recipe! <3

    Love the Summertime Vegetarian Stir Fry. I was pressed for time, so I prepped all the veggies (except the tomato and parsley) and drizzled with a bit of oil and popped into the fridge. When I got home I put the rice in the rice cooker, heated the skillet, and it all came together in less than 20 minutes (I used arborio rice). I also put dried basil in with the veggies. It was very very good!!! I will definitely do it again when I need a quickie dinner on the evenings I work late. I will use fresh basil next time, possibly a few other fresh herbs. Love the recipe, thanks so much!!!

      Hi Suzy, I am so glad you like it. Great idea to prep the veggies the night before. Love that you used Arborio rice. I have yet to cook with it, but it’s on my list.

Hello Tuesday! One more day closer to the weekend. Hello Tuesday! One more day closer to the weekend. It’s time! The lemons are coming out.  I can’t wait to do my tablescape. I’m just debating on the centerpiece. That will come in a couple of weeks.

Today I am sharing with you the gorgeous dough bowl candle that I got from @hiveandhome.shop. I can’t even telling you how much I love the scent. I got Coconut Lime Verbena. It smells like summer. So fresh and clean.
💛
Hive and Home Shop is a small family owned business in beautiful Utah. Each candle is hand poured with 100% soy wax. The dough bowls are hand carved so each one is unique. I think that’s pretty cool!
💛
The bowls are reusable, you can get a candle refill kit or you can use your dough bowl for decor. They come in a bunch of different shapes and sizes including a heart.
💛
Hive and Home Shop is giving my followers a 20% discount code: JENNIFER20
💛
What is your favorite candle scent?
Happy Monday! We had such a nice weekend. It hit t Happy Monday! We had such a nice weekend. It hit the mid 80’s, which was such a nice change. It made me realize that I need to buy some shorts. I put in quite a few pounds in 2020. Ugh!
🌸
I put together this little vignette to help me with ideas for my next tablescape. I’m definitely going with lemons and I’m thinking soft pastels, but we’ll see.
🌸
I bought that pretty bottle of grapefruit soda from Trader Joe’s. I haven’t tried it yet, but I thought it was so pretty that I had to buy it. Who buys food for the packaging? I guess that’s me. lol
🌸
The beautiful rustic wood riser that everything is on is @fromsusie. It’s the perfect size and it is distressed with flame aging. So cool! It’s such a unique, fun piece to decorate with. The link to From Susie is in my bio.
🌸
The cute marble and wood floral engraved cutting board is from my good friend Brantley from @thesassyoak. I love that cutting board so much. The floral engraving is so beautiful. Probably one of my favorite kitchen pieces.
🌸
Do you buy anything just for the packaging?

Happy Thursday! It’s been a crazy week over at m Happy Thursday! It’s been a crazy week over at my house this week. I started rearranging things around and left messes throughout my house. I start in one spot and it spread throughout. I need to do some major cleanup before the weekend.
💙
One thing I did was change my table in my dining room. I went more neutral until I start to bring the lemons out. I can’t wait for lemon season. I already have a tablescape in mind.
💙
I got the cute Home Sweet Home sign from my friend Brantley from @thesassyoak. It’s in the perfect spot. When you walk into my house you see the table right away. Isn’t the sign so cute? It matches my home so beautifully.

What are your plans for the weekend?

Happy Wednesday!! Half way through the week. Boy I Happy Wednesday!! Half way through the week. Boy I can’t wait for the weekend. I’m looking so forward to finish working in the garden. Well, technically it will never be finished, which I don’t mind. I want to plant a tomato this weekend. Just not sure what kind?
🌿
I refreshed my living room just a tad bit. I took down most of the bunnies, and that is all. I had a lot of them. It made me realize that I forgot my coffee bar. I still have bunnies, chicks and eggs on it. They’ll have to come down this week.
🌿
I have a surprise! Swipe my photo and you’ll see Sampson! He hasn’t made an appearance here in awhile. He said he misses you all!
🌿
Are you planting any vegetables this season?

My Mom got these by saving the stamps you would get from the grocery store with purchase. Each piece of China had a stamp value. So once you collected enough stamps you could pick up another piece of the collection. Needless to say, my Mom collected a lot of stamps and I have the whole set to serve 12 people.☕️

Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room a lit Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room  a little bit. I took out my Easter decor and gave it a more neutral look and did some switching around. Plus I added a Samantha Sue, who is laying down in the photo. lol
🍓
One of my favorite pieces that I added was my new @krumpetshomedecor sign. I love the style of the sign with the shiplap white wash look and of course the cute strawberry and daisies that add a pretty pop of color.
🍓
The sign is also reversible. It also says Life is Sweet on the other side without the strawberries and daises. The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week.

Hello and happy Wednesday! Thank you for all your Hello and happy Wednesday!  Thank you for all your kind words about the dentist. All he had to do is cement my crown back on. He said your crown has sticky with clear stuff on it. He said I don’t think it’s the old cement?  I told him I ate a white Trader Joe’s jelly bean and I thought I got it all off. He was laughing.
🌿
It’s that time of year for house plant care. While your plants are waking from dormancy, it’s time to feed them, repot them if needed and give a trim if applicable.
🌿
I also water my plants about every 7-10 days, depending on the plant. My coffee plant, fern, violet and my mixed plant container needs watering more. The key to know when to water is check the soil. I use a water meter probe and  you just stick it in the dirt. If it’s dry, I water. If it’s moist or wet, I’ll check again in a few days. You can get a water meter at Lowe’s, your local nursery or Amazon. It’s my number 1 garden tool. We use it on outside plants too.
🌿
I’m also sharing with you my cute little tea towel that I got from @e.h.designco. Her shop is closed right now because she’s moving, but will be open back in June.
🌿
Okay, go check your plants!

What’s your favorite house plant?

Happy Tuesday! Well today’s the day! I head to Happy Tuesday!  Well today’s the day! I head to the dentist. Wish me luck. I hope they will be able to glue my crown back on. I hate going to the dentist! Ugh!
🌸
Today I am sharing with you my new plates and bowls that I got from @sonemone_official. I just love them. The shade of blue is so pretty and I love the vibrant colors on them.
🌸
The bowls are huge and would make a wonderful soup bowl or salad bowl. The plates would be beautiful served with a charcuterie board. They are microwave and dishwasher safe. They would be so pretty on a summer tablescape.
🌸
Are you ready for summer decorating?
