Christmas is just a little under a week away! Can you believe it? My in-laws love to go out to Chinese on Christmas Eve, which is one of my new favorite traditions since getting married. I LOVE Chinese food, and have always wanted to recreate those delicious dishes they make in the restaurant. Recently I put a healthier twist on one of my favorites, pork fried rice, with turkey! It’s lower in fat, and just as much flavor.
