I am trying to be better about making dinner and I didn’t make an exception for last night. I made the Taste of Home Thai Vegetable and Noodles and added some shrimp. Dave isn’t big on meals without some sort of meat in it so I thought he might like my slight modification. He did!
I actually cut all the veggies and made the sauce Sunday so when I came home from my C2Pilates class it was pretty easy to get everything together. I liked the abundance of veggies in it and my extra flair with the shrimp. I’m going to make this again for sure. I might try to add some new flavors next time and experiment, but I also wouldn’t mind eating the meal just as is.
