Veggie Lo Mein

February 22, 2008

Cajun Chicken Pasta

May 29, 2007

I first made this dish back in October, it was my first entry. I remade it tonight but made a few changes. I thinly sliced the bell peppers instead of dicing which I liked a lot better. I made a few other tweaks as well. Hubby exclaimed how good it was after each of the [...]
