My Take Home Chef

I know it's been awhile since I have posted! Mol and I have had the week off (have to love February Vacation) ;0) Last weekend, Bri surprised me and made me dinner! He knows I love the show on TLC called "Take Home Chef" so he went online and found a recipe (fat free of course since I am on this lovely diet until I have my gallbladder removed) and came up with this:

Egg Noodles with Chinese Vegetables

Strain the noodles and broccoli, and add them to the vegetables in the wok.Add the basil and toss to combine and to coat the noodles and vegetables with the sauces. Place the noodle mixture on a large serving platter. Garnish with the green onions and serve.

He bought all of the ingredients and cooked the entire meal himself and it was sooo delicious! He really blew me away that night!
