No ‘Sunday Scaries’ Here – we find it so easy on a cold, winter Sunday night to just call up the local Chinese food place and order our favorites. But this week was different!!
We have daylight savings time next week…….finally!! With that comes swimsuit season! So we opted for a healthier option tonight, with less sugar, no MSG, healthier cooking oil. Also cheaper!
It’s a win win! Below you will find our latest dinner of beef and broccoli!
Enjoy – See you in the Kitchen!
