Yummy!

I have been going to post about a fantastic and easy recipe I found on Pinterest for Mongolian Beef. It is super easy and cooks in the crock pot. My niece, Caitlyn, will love it and this can be her Chinese food fix when Grammy is not there to take her out to eat. We have had it twice now. Rylan loves it!

So here is the link to the original recipe, http://culinarytuesdays.com/mongolian-beef-in-a-crock-pot/. 

You can look at the recipe but here is what I 

do because I could not find one or two of the 

ingredients and I like more veggies.
