Toadally Yummy Tuesday

This recipe is straight off Weight Watchers website. I love chinese food but most chinese food is really high in points and sodium, so this was a nice find for me.


I do add chicken breast to the recipe to give it more of a main meal feel, so of course the number of points will go up based on how much chicken breast, shrimp, or beef you add.


My husband liked this recipe as well as my little tadpoles so it is picky eater friendly. Let me know how it turns out if you try it. Enjoy!
