Five {+3} Point Friday - Shrimp LoMein from BJ's Wholesale
The other day I received an email from BJ's Wholesale Club sharing about how in an effort to help families save money, they have developed recipes that serve four people for less than $12. As I was looking through the recipes I found this one that sounded delicious. Chinese takeout is a favorite at our house so I knew it would be a hit.
Please note the point value.
Trust me though that the extra points were worth it!
