Mother's Day
Sunday Dinner: Sesame Chicken With Soba Noodles
The economy may be down in the dumps, but don't let that hold you back this Mother's Day. Rather than spending big bucks to dine out, have the whole gang — including your mom and the kids — celebrate the occasion by making dinner a budget-friendly activity that the entire family can enjoy.
This quick, healthy meal, which includes fiber-rich soba noodles and crunchy vegetables, packs a flavor punch with soy sauce, sesame seeds, and ginger.
