Most people are eating holiday foods right about now; I am eating Lo Mein.
For about a week, it's all I could dream of.
For every meal, I wanted Lo Mein. Mind you, I am was a health conscious eater (for the most part). So as you can imagine, I have a hard time walking in to a Wok-n-Roll and ordering a calorically hefty, MSG loaded bowl of high blood pressure. Instead, I wanted to make my own, veggie overloaded, shrimp adorned pot of glorified Lo Mein.
Get the recipe here.
I modified the recipe... a lot.
Vegetables? Added MORE.
Soy Sauce - swapped for Low Sodium.
Started by sautéing veggies in Sesame Oil.
Added fresh garlic and ginger.
This was the perfect pregnancy dinner... two nights in a row.
Matt can not believe I am eating Chinese food by choice. Normally, he is the one begging me to eat at Chinese buffets where you leave wanting to die right there in the parking lot. No way Jose.
I guess this is what "Karma" feels like.
Pregnant with Matt's baby?... Chinese food it is.
All I have to say is, he'd better come home before this craving ends.
God knows, by next week... I'll have moved on to German food or something.
