Can I just start by saying I am a huge Chinese food lover. It's so good, yet so bad for you all at the same time and honestly I could eat it at least once a week. I know, I told you I have a serious problem. But have no fear!!!!!... I have found a vegetable lo mein recipe. No driving to pick it up, no paying $20 per order, and just a little better for you!
