I won!! I won!! I won my first blog giveaway from Gina over at Simply Life

I won a case of Chobani Yogurt!! I can't wait to receive it, so stay tuned for recipes using the yummy yogurt!!! 

My husband and I are big fans of Chinese food, but every time we have it I think I could do this at home for less money and calories. I found a few recipes that I liked but nothing that stood out to me so I decided to do a mish mash of a few recipes with of course my own spin. We decided on Stir-Fry  and went with Shrimp for the protein. Throw in some veggies and we are on our way to some homemade take out.
