  11. Oh Mary!!!
    I LOVE your new BLOG and thanks for "keeping it real!"
    I can't thank you enough for your recipe ideas...I, along with one of my daughters suffer with Celiac Disease and our whole family eats Gluten-Free. I have so missed "Chinese Food" because of how restrants use the Soy Sauce with Wheat in it. I about fell on the floor with I saw you make this. I can substitute my Gluten/Wheat Free Soy Sauce and leave out the Chow Mein Noodles and this should be a "Family Please-er!!!" Thanks Mary...I get so bored with the same-o, same-o...I can't wait to give this a try.
    Blessings
