Veggie Lo Mein

We’ve always done themed meals like Taco Tuesday and Pizza and movie Friday, but we have recently added to our themed meals, Meatless Mondays!  I did a week long body cleans of meatless meals a few weeks ago and really enjoyed some of the meals I made. Now this one you can easily add chicken or beef  however we liked it just the way it is.
