Chicken and Spring Vegetable Lo Mein

On my way to 100 recipes in 100 days.  Here is recipe 86: Chicken and Spring Vegetable Lo Mein.

Its no secret that I love Asian food.  But until recently, I have never tried to cook it myself.  I usually would order in or go out to enjoy my favorites.  I think it may be dangerous that I have now found two great recipes.

My daughters love any kind of noodles….so this was a fun dinner for them.  I used chopsticks and they slurped their noodles.  We all enjoyed it.
