Ahhhh, Thanksgiving is officially over. And now it’s time to get ready for the craziest, busiest, most wonderful time of the year. Are you listening to Christmas music yet? Admittedly, I’ve been listening to it for the past couple weeks. And I’m binge-watching all the Hallmark Christmas movies I can handle. Maybe it’s because Thanksgiving came early this year, but my Christmas kick started a lot sooner than usual. But that doesn’t mean I’ve gotten any of my Christmas shopping done. Neoooh, no, no. That’s what the eleventh hour was made for, right?

But it’s okay. Because even when I’m frantically rushing to get every present before the big day, at least I can count on easy and delicious meals like this Beef Lo Mein. Packed with flavorful beef strips, veggies, noodles, and a deliciously sweet/spicy sauce, it’s the perfect dinner for busy weeknights. Oh, PLUS it’s way better and cheaper than any takeout you can get. AND it’s super quick to whip up. We’re talking 30 minutes, my friends. Now you have more time to make your season merry and bright every night. 🙂
