Thai Peanut Noodles
*from Our Best Bites and my dear friend Kapri Hill*
1/2 c. chicken broth
2 T. creamy peanut butter (use natural for no trans fat)
1-2 t. Sriracha chili sauce (optional, for heat)
1 1/2 T. honey
3 T. soy sauce
1/2 t. ground ginger
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1-2 chicken breasts, cooked and diced (optional)
8 oz. Udon or linguine noodles, cooked and drained (whole wheat noodles work great)
chopped green onions, for garnish
chopped cilantro, for garnish
2 limes, quartered, for garnish
chopped peanuts, for garnish
Mix broth, peanut butter, chili sauce (if using), honey, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until smooth and remove from heat. Sauce will thicken as it cools. To serve, toss noodles with sauce and stir in chicken, if desired. Divide into four bowls. Garnish with onions, cilantro, peanuts, and 2 lime quarters each.

I am glad you posted this since I am planning out meals for the next few weeks and it reminded me of how good it was. I love quick simple meals like this that don't taste like your standard quick simple meals. If that even makes sense.
Can one of you guys do me a favor and post the tentative schedule that Andrea wrote up and emailed out to everyone? It got lost in the mess of my email inbox before I had a chance to copy down the dates. I completely forgot which weeks we said we were doing lunches & outings, if we are doing outings still, or even where I am in the rotation. And since I feel like I haven't hosted for a while, I don't want to drop the ball if I am up next. Thanks!
I'm making this for dinner tonight! Who knows how the B-friendly version will turn out. :)
