sesame noodles
this quick, inexpensive meal tastes delicious! great with shrimp, chicken or any other protein or by itself. toss in whatever leftover veggies you have in the fridge. this meal comes together quickly and is perfect for a quick mid week meal. my son is allergic to peanuts so i wanted to try a version that did not have peanut butter. it worked! however, if you would like a creamier dressing, feel free to add some peanut butter.
