If you know me, you know my love for Pad Thai runs DEEP. If I get take out 98% of the time its Pad Thai.. and I'm talking days in a row at times. So I've whipped up a quick easy recipe to make my self and share with you guys.

Who else loves a dinner made in 30 minutes or less? If so, you have to make this deliciously Creamy Pad Thai Noodles. Fully loaded with cabbage, onions, carrots, peppers, and flavour! Whip up this recipe ahead of time and eat it for leftovers.

This Creamy Pad Thai noodle dish is made with four main ingredients, peanut sauce, vegetables, and rice noodles. I put a spin on the traditional Pad Thai Noodle recipe by making the sauce extra creamy by adding peanut butter to the sauce. LOVE PEANUT SAUCE ON ALMOST EVERYTHING. Literally.

• 3 Tbsp peanut butter

• 1/2 juiced lime

• 3 Tbsp of soy sauce or coconut amino (gluten-free)
