While Mexican and Italian food have our hearts, we also love us some Asian food! This
week we decided to show our vegetarians some love and give you guys an Asian
inspired dish we absolutely can’t get enough of: Veggie Lo Mein! Packed with a plethora
of delicious vegetables of every color (and a ton of spice), this recipe is certain to
appease your eyes and taste buds alike. The best part of this dish (besides how yummy
it is), is that it’s super light, yet still filling.

For those of you who love meat too much to leave it out, feel free to add some chicken,
beef, or shrimp! Minimal ingredients and short cooking time always make for a winning
recipe!
