Let me introduce you to one of our family favorites: Thai Noodle Salad!

It was introduced to us by BeckyMom a few years ago. We had been using the website Sparkpeople, which is great by the way, to track our calorie intake and exercise and all that jazz, and that’s where this baby was found.

Sparkpeople has a ton of really great recipes, our favorite being the Thai Noodle Salad. It’s something that I had never eaten before, and honestly, something I probably wouldn’t have thought to try, but thank goodness we had it at Reinman’s parents’ house a few years ago. We make it a lot now, the kids love it, and it’s something that I would highly recommend you try. Mmmm…
