First, Black Bean Enchiladas, then Sesame Chicken with Lo Mein and Green Beans


That’s right--two recipes! Two fan-tab-u-lous recipes that I found in Menu Magazine, put out quarterly by Wegmans supermarkets (located in the Northeast U.S.). I had never tried their recipes before and was finally ready to take the plunge.

Am I glad I did! I can’t tell you yet which is my favorite of these two. I love them both. And I love the fact that I have the recipes in print with pictures in the Menu Magazine, plus I can go online and find the menus, with videos, at Wegmans.

The videos really bring it all together for me. I mean, I love to read (and look at pictures!), but then after I have everything purchased and assembled, nothing beats a video to show how easy it really is to assemble these two dishes.

Changes I made or would make ~ None! Fantastic as is. At first I thought this was a very expensive, cheese-laden dish, but then realized it made A LOT! Two big pans, one for supper and one for the freezer (which I used a few weeks later at a potluck dinner where it received rave reviews).

Changes I made or would make ~ Too many noodles (they recommend the 1-pound package of frozen lo mein noodles). The second time I made this, I bought an 8-ounce box of dried noodles. Forgot it would double when I cooked it--ha, ha--so again I had way too much. I added half and froze the rest for the next time I make it. Even with half the noodles, it’s a huge amount of food. Filled my wok.
