Stir Fried Egg Noodle

First Entry
So I'm half figured out on how to use the blog. Old fashioned me. I've read and followed a few bloggers for over a year now. I've tempted to create one for myself a long time ago but never had the time to do it. I've searched around as I tried to figure out how to use the blogging functions, it's amazing how many things I've learned along the way.

Aside blogging, today my husband surprisingly announced that he wanted to go meatless for 3 days a week. Now, that's something I didn't expect coming out from him, the meat lover. Did I offend him? I laughed hysterically. A joke well formed! Turned out, he was serious and determined about it. For someone that has never liked to eat food without meat now wants to be a vegetarian for 3 days a week is some tough work. As for my part, it'll be a challenge. I've learned to cook to the way he likes it, mainly meat dish. From today and on, I'll have to learn to be creative with vegetarian dish so we can do this a long term without getting bored to death while eating dinner lol.

One of the dishes I made today is vegetarian stir fried egg noodle. It's simple and fast. I basically added almost everything I had in the fridge, mixed it up, spiced it up, and we had a dinner. Luckily, I measured as I cooked and it tasted fantastic. Therefore, you won't go wrong with this recipe .... if you follow the direction, that is. :)
