Thanks for giving me some bloggy love! I just started that blog, and didnt know if anyone would look so its exciting when someone does! My husband is a little picky too! I try to balance what I make for him too, but if it's not something he really likes, I just tell him to get over it because its more for the kids that night! Usually he'll eat it and not complain if all the kids like it! BUT he doesnt like some veggies that I really like, so I never make them. Wah, wah. I guess we (you and I), could just make what we make, and our husbands can try/eat a little, but it could be just for us! ha

Vegetable Lo Mein

Okay, I already messed with the menu. :) I didn't get to get to the store in time to get the potatoes for mashed potatoes to have with the meatloaf. So I had to make the lo mein instead of the meatloaf yesterday. I kind of did my own thing but with help from this Chicken Chow Mein recipe and this Vegetable Lo Mein recipe. First I boiled the noodles. Then fried them in the skillet in a bit of oil. This really helped them not stick together. And I'm sure gives it more flavor. I took the noodles out of the pan and put them in a dish until it was time to add them back. I then started stir frying the veggies. Mushrooms, onions first.

I mixed one cup of chicken broth and a tablespoon of cornstarch and added that to the veggies. Then added a tablespoon of reduced sodium soy sauce and a tablespoon or so of oyster f...
