This easy chicken stir fry with vegetables packs a flavorful and nutritious punch! It comes together incredibly fast, and you can switch out veggies based on preference and time of year. Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner! #easyweeknightdinner #easydinnerrecipe #chickenstirfry #veggiestirfry #eatmoredinners

Earlier this year — like millions of other Americans — I made a commitment to be healthier. Not only did I want to exercise at least 5 times a week, I also wanted to limit my sugar and carb intake. I’m a pizza and pasta gal through and through, with a side of ice cream cake for dessert!

The problem was, I struggled with what kinds of foods I would have to eat. I’ve tasted some pretty nasty stuff that is supposedly healthy for me….and it truly makes me want to cry.

I love food.

I don’t want my food to taste bad.

I don’t think it should taste bad.

So when I found this easy stir fry, I crossed my fingers that it was the veggie/protein/low-carb AND yummy tasting combo I was looking for. I wasn’t disappointed. This dish is packed with flavor and super easy to throw together! It’s pretty healthy too.

How to Make This Healthy Chicken and Veggie Stir Fry Recipe:

Step 1: In a large skillet, heat coconut oil on medium heat until melted. {I get my coconut oil on Amazon because it’s cheaper than at the store.} I did try this recipe once with butter, but I like the flavor much better with coconut oil.

Step 2: Chop chicken into bite sized pieces and add to pan. Sprinkle with half of the spices, and cook completely.

Step 3: When chicken is almost done, sprinkle onion flakes on top.

Step 4: Stir in zucchini and broccoli {or any other veggies you like}, then sprinkle with remaining spices.

Step 5: Cook another 5-7 minutes until all vegetables are tender.

Step 6: Serve alone or on top of this delicious rice recipe for a more filling meal!

    All carbs aren’t bad for you. Simple carbs, like white rice, white flour and sugar are the ones you want to limit or avoid. Complex carbs, like those found in whole grains, take longer to digest and provide fiber, which is good for digestion and also more filling. Same with fats, there are some, like those in nuts and seeds, peanut butter, and avocados that are very beneficial.

    I LOVE chicken and spices. And adding veggies will clearly make it even more yummy. Love the recipe. Will try ‘replicate’ it as soon as possible. Will probably stick to my olive oil though (or maybe try coconut oil, it won’t harm me :)).

      I don’t think olive oil would hurt the recipe so you’re probably safe. 😉

    All at once, the lazy doctored method: Frozen veggies including spinach, cauliflower, and carrots filling an iron skillet, less than suggested cut up precooked chicken, same spices but double the curry and add more cloves and a tablespoon honey, substitute coconut for avocado oil, if frozen add a half cup water, mix, turn to about a 6 level heat or low boil, takes about a half hour plus stirring every 5 min or so, tastes great!

    I made this tonight and it was delish!!! I used carrots instead of zucchini (the thicker slices were still a little crunchy though) I’ve never used coconut oil before and I’m obsessed now! It gave a perfect nutty taste to the chicken. My husband loved it too and that’s saying a lot!

      Thanks for letting me know that you made it, Whitney. Joseph must be like your husband because he’s not a stir-fry guy, but he loves this recipe as well!

When you want to “make over your finances”, wh When you want to “make over your finances”, what first comes to mind? 🤔💭

Cutting back on a few expenses? Overhauling your budget? Establishing an Emergency Fund...or increasing its size? 💰

These are ALL worthy endeavors. 👏

But none of those things matter if you don’t check in on your finances on a regular basis. 😳

It only takes a couple of days (or weeks) for that motivational wave of “I’m gonna become a financial rockstar” to wane... then fizzle out completely. 🤯

That’s why the most important financial habit you’ll ever create is a weekly finance routine. 📆

In this newly-released blog post, I’m sharing why a weekly finance routine will influence your bottom line more than anything else, as well as dish ALL the details of what I do, every Friday, to get in tune with my bank accounts and budgeting app. 📱

Want the link? Leave a money bag emoji in the comments below! 💰

If you have a similar routine (or want to adopt one for the first time!), I’d love to hear about it! 👇🏻
Over the past six months, I’ve changed. ⁣ ⁣ Over the past six months, I’ve changed. ⁣
⁣
1️⃣ Joseph and I adopted a plant-based diet.⁣
2️⃣ I got the tattoo I’ve been wanting for years.⁣
3️⃣ And last November, we bought a motorcycle.⁣
⁣
Needless to say, people have commented about my recent changes too.⁣
⁣
Most are positive. 🥰⁣
⁣
Others are not. 😳⁣
⁣
And of course, in typical people-pleasing fashion, I tend to focus on the critics more than the cheerleaders. 📣⁣
⁣
But you can't live your life by other people's expectations of you.⁣
⁣
I'm not saying to disregard what anyone has to say or ignore every opinion that doesn't line up with your way of thinking. Listen to wise counsel and learn everything you can from those who've walked whatever road you want to travel. 💞⁣
⁣
But know the difference between wise counsel and someone who wants to subconsciously direct your life.⁣
⁣
Because the critic doesn't get to live your life.⁣
⁣
You do. 🥳
I’ve seen a lot of new faces follow me this mont I’ve seen a lot of new faces follow me this month—welcome! 👋

My name is Kalyn (swipe right to see my husband, Joseph, and I shivering at the beach). We travel full time in an RV, but are Floridians at heart. 60 degrees is NOT warm enough for a beach day! 🏝️

I started blogging in 2012 to share my love for saving money. Today, I help thousands of women live a more minimalist lifestyle, establish planning systems and routines, and pursue positive personal growth. 💪

It is a huge privilege to connect with you here. 🥰

Other random facts: I love to read (lately I’m a fan of psychological thrillers), crocheting relieves my anxiety, and I’m five months into eating a plant-based lifestyle. 🌱

I used to hate meal planning and being in the kitchen but going vegan helped me fall in love with cooking nutritious meals. 🍽️

New or not, thank you for adding me to your feed. I’m so grateful we connected on social media. 

Now it’s your turn! Share a random fact about yourself in the comments. I want to get to know you better! 💞
Minimalism ≠ Deprivation.⁣ ⁣ Sadly, I find m Minimalism ≠ Deprivation.⁣
⁣
Sadly, I find most people resist minimalism because they can't wrap their head around "having less." People tend to equate this movement with blank walls, white IKEA furniture, and decluttering everything in your home down to practically nothing so you can live full-time in an RV. Like me. 😉⁣
⁣
But, while minimalism could be all that, this mindset misses the point. Minimalism is not only about “having less.” 🚫⁣
⁣
It’s so much more than that.⁣
⁣
This week on the blog, I'm sharing the REAL definition of minimalism (that people who love their stuff can totally get behind!) as well as practical ways to incorporate minimalism into your life. 🎉⁣

Drop a heart emoji in the comments below and I'll send the link to your DM's! 💖
I love lazy Saturday mornings...as long as I have I love lazy Saturday mornings...as long as I have a book and a cozy blanket! 😍
I wrote this in my journal the other day: 📓⁣ I wrote this in my journal the other day: 📓⁣
⁣
“I’ve been thinking about what tech boundaries I want to instill, including boundaries related to work and productivity. I’ve become less careful about my media consumption, and it’s having a negative affect on my mental health.” 💞⁣
⁣
Have you ever felt a similar tug? ⁣
⁣
I can’t begin to tell you how many times I pick up my phone because I’m bored or lonely or jealous or unhappy. It almost always makes me feel worse. And yet...I struggle to stop. 😝⁣
⁣
Here are the ideas I’ve been trying this month and I’m already seeing a positive effect:⁣
⁣
➕ No logging into social media after 8pm. I need to wind down for the night, not get lost in my phone! 📲⁣
➕ Open Instagram with a purpose—either to post or to interact. Stop endlessly scrolling.⁣
➕ My only screen time before 9am should be for Bible Study apps or News. 🗞⁣
➕ Turn my phone on Do Not Disturb during Tiger Time (when I need the most focus for work) 💪⁣
➕ Work no more than 4 hours on my business per day. If a task isn’t complete, push it to the next day. This time frame has really helped me prioritize! 💻⁣
➕ Watch one show per day (or two if they are short!) and leave movies for the weekend. 📺⁣
⁣
What tech boundaries have you set up? Are any new as of this year? I’d love to hear your ideas! 😃
