Easy Chickpea Vegetable Stir Fry-this easy and healthy stir fry recipe is loaded with veggies! Serve with quinoa or brown rice and you have a delicious and nutritious meal! 

It is a new year and that means many of us are making resolutions. This year, I made some goals in the following areas: business/blog, personal, and family. I like setting goals because they keep me focused and motivated. I try to not to make too many so I will actually achieve them! I am all about setting realistic goals. I want to succeed:)

Healthy eating is always a popular resolution and it is on my list this year. I am trying to include more vegetables into my diet and into our family meals. I kicked off the new year by making Easy Chickpea Vegetable Stir Fry. I love making stir fry because it is easy, healthy, and a great way to sneak a variety of vegetables into one meal!

Caleb is usually a good eater, but vegetables are sometimes tricky. One day he will devour his veggies and the next day he will turn up his nose. Gotta love kids:) I keep trying to introduce a variety of vegetables so he can discover his favorites. I love making stir fry because he will usually eat at least one or two of the veggies I use.

For this stir fry, I used: broccoli, carrots, peppers, mushrooms, and sugar snap peas. In the winter, it is sometimes hard to find quality produce so I mixed Kroger’s frozen veggies with some fresh produce. Caleb loves the crinkle cut carrots, he calls them gold doubloons. They are treasures, just like in Jake and the Neverland Pirates:)

I added some chickpeas to the veggies for an easy boost of protein. Our stir fry was colorful and ready to go in under 30 minutes, making it a great weeknight meal.

I served our Easy Chickpea Vegetable Stir Fry over a bed of Kroger’s Tri-Color Quinoa. It is pretty and adds even more protein!

We started the year off right with this Easy Chickpea Vegetable Stir Fry. It was a hit at our dinner table so I will be making it again! I love veggie loaded meals, especially when they are super simple!

Ingredients

  

• For the Sauce:
• 2/3 cup Kroger Lite soy sauce or Tamari sauce
• 1/2 cup Kroger vegetable broth
• 1/3 cup Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons garlic chile sauce
• 1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
• 2 tablespoons corn starch
• For the Stir Fry:
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 12 oz package Kroger frozen broccoli cuts
• 1 12 oz package Kroger frozen crinkle cut carrots
