Tonight I recreated one of my favorite dishes, Pad Thai. I was feeling like having something a bit lighter so I subbed noodles for bean sprouts and other colorful veggies. I used “A Taste of Thai”, peanut sauce mix and coconut milk to make the flavors come to life. It is not spicy, so it works for anyone! (I added in extra red pepper to kick the spice notch up). Sooo, Mark is not a veggie guy, so he also wanted Thai and ordered Pad See Ew from our local Thai spot. Truth be told, he devoured BOTH meals. He actually loved mine, especially the peanut crunch. This was a great nutritious and light meal to enjoy on our little patio on this gorgeous Sunday night. Want to add some more carbs? Have a side of coconut white rice…YUM (def doing that next time). I hope you enjoy this recipe, let me know what you decide to pair it with!
