Peanut Noodles


What is it about peanut butter that improves a dish?  I am not a big fan of peanuts but I do love peanut butter.  I was glad that separate peanuts were not included in the recipe.  The peanut butter did its job and even hubby who supposedly hates peanut butter (and loves peanuts) gave a top rating to this dish.  Halfway through, he asked what was in it and I cringed a little but he accepted the peanut butter with grace.

 Peanut Noodles  (adapted from AllRecipes magazine)

 Ingredients:

 8 ounces Gluten-free spaghetti
1 bunch green onions, sliced
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon  ginger
1/3 cup peanut butter (smooth)
1/4 cup GF soy sauce
1/4 cup hot water
1 tablespoon GF vinegar
1 teaspoon white sugar  (This can be omitted for a healthier result)
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

 Method:

 Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water until done. Drain.

 Meanwhile, combine oil and onions in a small skillet. Saute over low heat until tender. 

Mix in peanut butter, soy sauce, water, vinegar, sugar, ginger and red pepper flakes. Remove from heat.
Toss noodles with sauce, and serve.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

Image
It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Image
Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
