Broccoli Chicken Lo Mein



I posted a photo of my supper Saturday night and several of my Facebook friends asked for the recipe so hence the blog post...because let's get honest I am a terrible blogger. I wanted to say that this recipe is super freezer friendly as a meal kit something I do regularly. I have included the instructions for the freezer method in the recipe as well. The recipe is also great to switch up vegetables and even meats with, plus in my home anything with noodles is consumed very well. I hope you all enjoy! 

I wanted to take a second and say that I really want to get back to blogging on the regular, I really do just with two little ones and two busy jobs my poor blog keeps finding it's way to the back burner. So if you are reading this thanks for sticking with me. I hope all of you are having a blessed Monday.
