Spinach Lasagna Rolls

This is a recipe that is easy, fast and super delicious. Even if the kids in the family don't like spinach, they just might eat this up like my grandchildren did, without even mentioning the veggie.

Pair it with a green salad, and warm garlic bread, and you have a meal that is great for a weeknight dinner.

Make Your Own Chicken Yakisoba Recipe

Chicken Yakisoba is one of my very favorite take-out dishes, and I usually buy it a couple times a month.

But at almost nine dollars a plate, it gets expensive. So I decided to try making it at home, and I was very happy with the results. Super yummy!!

As you can see, this recipe makes a nice family sized portion. Pair it with rice, or eggrolls, and it makes a delicious dinner.

The recipe comes from the Budget Bytes blog, and comes with lots of great step-by-step photos.
