One of my meal planning goals has been to find a few new recipes that the entire family would like and we could add to our rotation. These Peanut Noodles were definitely a hit, and the best part is that is that they are diet and weight watcher friendly!
These Easy Peanut Noodles were enjoyed by all, my son (a very picky eater) proclaimed them to be his new 3rd favorite dinner, which is a high compliment indeed! (I did remove the snap peas from the kids’ servings). Hubby came home later and gave the thumbs up as well.
Notice the haircut someone gave herself? 🙁
