I LOVE THIS MEAL! Do you hear me?! Or better yet, do you read me?! Because this dinner was phenomenal. The first time I had peanut noodles was at our friend James' house. I seriously didn't think I'd like them even though I love peanut butter and pasta. Something about combining the two just grossed me out. And then I tasted it. It was like little fireworks of happiness on my tongue. Since then I have been converted. I have had this recipe bookmarked for quite some time now. I regret not making it sooner! As soon as I tasted it I told John I couldn't wait to make it again which is a big honor in our house. I so rarely repeat recipes so when I do you know it's a winner. I'm already planning when I can make this again- possibly even next week.

This looks so good! And I love how you add the weight watchers points...as a former, but still following the program, fellow weight watcher, this helps me! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I'm definitely going to have to try this one... I think it would make for a great lunch... and for my husband I could put it in a wrap to plump it up! yum-o!
ReplyDeleteThis looks yummy. I'd love to make it... I'll see if I can get my husband to eat those veggies (he can be a veggie-hater at times).
ReplyDeleteThis looks AWESOME! I will be making it very soon!
ReplyDeleteThis looks yummy...can't wait to try it. Question--there is ginger in your prep directions but I don't see ginger in the ingredient list. How much ginger did you use? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLena- THANK YOU for catching that. I actually omitted the ginger, I forgot to take it out of the prep directions though. I just fixed it. If you want to use ginger just click on the original recipe, it's linked at the top. It will show how much to use!
ReplyDeleteI love foods that have as incredient peanut... I definitely think that peanut sauce is a required taste for cooking this
