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.

I want to give my apologies to the folks in the Philadelphia area. I seemed to have brought the California rain with me when I was there Thursday-Saturday. 😂 Hopefully you got some sun after I left.

This is a view if my livingroom. I really like how I styled my console table. The bunny sign and egg tree are from my friends @12timbers. I’ll be sad when Easter is over.

Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.

The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.

I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

So much fun to add anywhere in your home.

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol

Have a beautiful day!
