Back to school prep has commenced. For many, it means crazy days, long afternoons, and then not knowing what to cook for dinner. I get stuck in the conundrum of dinner prep every single day. I make my menu’s but then when it comes time to start cooking, nothing sounds fabulous. As I sat down to make out my shopping list, and cruise through the coupons on My Military Savings, I found this recipe for Bean Thread Noodle Salad with Chicken and Sesame Orange Dressing. I was so excited to find this! I love to try new things, and it looked super easy. It also has the daily recommended fiber intake as well. On the coupon page, I found a $2.00 off coupon for Benefiber! Talk about some great savings!
I made this for dinner, and it was a hit! Not only did my kids clean their plates, but they asked for seconds. I had enough left over that I could take it to work the next day. It re-heated with ease. I found all the ingredients at my local commissary! Head over and get what you need today, and prepare for a delicious and healthy treat for dinner!
Happy eating!
