Spicy Shrimp, Soba and Shiitake Stir Fry
Updated: Aug 5, 2020
My husband has been out of town all week, so I ended up making the boys hamburgers last night but opted to make another amazing meal from Platejoy, with a few tweaks as usual. I told my husband that I was taste testing the recipes and would make him some of the "winners" when he got home....lol. Let's just say, they are mostly all turning out to be winners so far! I definitely feel the difference between when I eat processed food and when I make meals from scratch. My energy levels go way down and I get cranky when I eat processed.... who knew all of those nutritionists were right?!?
