The noodles turned out perfectly. For lack of a better word, they turned out "slippery" just like Lo Mein noodles! And you can add whatever veggies you want. Great way to clean out your produce drawer. For 1 1/3 cups, it's only 327 calories!

Breakfast this morning was pineapple Chobani yogurt, Easy Granola, strawberries and blueberries.

I took the kids to school, volunteered a bit then came back for an hour walk around my neighborhood. It's been awhile since I've done that and really enjoyed the change of scenery from the gym.

Lunch was skinny fish tacos at Wahoo's. 

Tonight I will be enjoying Beef-Broccoli Lo Mein leftovers. These are leftovers I'm actually excited about.
