      The Back To School Hakka Noodles sounds great! Two Grandsons, one like veggies & other doesn't. I paired it with home made chicken
      nuggets & pineapple chunks & baby carrots. Oldest doesn't like beef
      but loves French Fries. We made dips and the boys used Tortillas to
      wrap their meals in...their idea!! Glad we had watermelon & strawberries for dessert...then they went outside to have a bounce on
      trampoline.
