A delicious summer stir-fry packed full of summer vegetables.
Do you have any go-to recipes for when you need dinner on the table quickly without a lot of effort? For me, this Summer Stir-Fry is one of my go-to recipes. It’s always a hit with my kids, and they will eat all the veggies, too!

One of my favorite things about this summer stir-fry recipe is the versatility. Don’t have carrots? Use something else. You can mix and match veggies however you like, to suit your taste. Plus, the measurements don’t need to be exact, so just chop, dice and slice however much you feel like.
