I don't know what is wrong with me, sometimes I think I am off my rocker. I really need to be resting instead of baking but oh well for some reason I just cant seem to shake this baking bug. At least I will have some happy campers in my house.
Today I'm bringing you a quick and easy recipe for Pork Lo mein. Someone on Face book was asking me when I was going to post this recipe so I apologize for taking so long. I am so backed up with recipes to get posted that it is so hard to pick and choose which ones to get up first.
I will eventually get to them all. Some days I think there just isn't enough hours in the day to get everything accomplished.
My kids love Ramen Noodles so we always have a couple packages in the house. I like them because they are really cheap and can be used to whip a quick meal such as this one. I did add a few changes to the original recipe, but it wasn't anything major. I just changed up the measurements a bit and added a couple additional ingredients to adjust the recipe more to my liking.
I also think that you could use beef or chicken in place of the pork so this is a pretty versatile recipe that will please most anyone. I hope you enjoy the recipe. I am off to add a batch of granola to the oven so I hope everyone has a great Friday and a wonderful weekend. My next post will be for Pot luck Sunday.

I hope you start feeling better soon! We've been hit hard with sickness too this week. So not fun.
I chuckled when I read you're baking like crazy anyway. I do that too!
A new comfort food recipe is calling (Chicken Stuffed Shells) and I hope to get some baking in this afternoon too.
Rest up if you can, my friend!
Have a wonderful weekend!
My hubby and I were hit HARD with the crazy pollen this year, I swear we thought we had a flu.
I am excited to try this recipe, it looks super simple and yummy!
