Homemade Chinese Food

All week long the kids and hubby have been begging for Chinese food. We have the best chinese food place about 5 minutes from our house, but no matter what we order from them, it seems to cost us between $30 & $40! That's why we only get chinese once and a while or for a special occation. I had made chinese food in the past, but not since Kenzie was 2 or 3 so I figured I'd give it a try. It turned out AWESOME and was oh so simple to do. Here are the recipes below. I hope you enjoy!!!
