Michael has been busy studying. And I’ve been busy traveling. Which means that while I’m off eating like a queen, Michael’s stuck at home….eating take-out. Poor Michael. After a long Memorial Day weekend with CFA books up to his ears and without a home-cooked meal, I decided to put together some grub for him for the upcoming weekend since I’ll be gone again (girl’s trip!!!).
The kitchen is stocked with the following:
Cowboy Lasagna – The Pioneer Woman
1 T hot sauce (I used Frank’s)
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and sliced into matchsticks
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
1/3 c. chopped fresh cilantro
1. Cook pasta. Run under cold water to stop cooking. Toss with sesame oil.
2. Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, hot sauce, and 6 T pasta cooking water in medium bowl until smooth.
3. Toss pasta with sauce, cucumber, bell pepper and cilantro.
We added a 1/2 pound P&D sauteed shrimp for a little protein.
Salad is best served at room temperature, but also would be good straight from fridge or heated in microwave.
Aren’t I the best wife ever? It’s the least I could do to help Michael prepare for his big test. Good luck, Michael! At least you won’t go hungry.
you are so sweet – he'll be spoiled with all that baking/pastry goodness, and before you know it, it's gone!
good luck michael!
You are a good wife! I'd better not show this to Edward.
That peanut noodle salad looks so good!
Hope all the food helped Michael to keep his super brain working for his test!! Any leftovers?
Thanks to you, I tried the peanut noodle salad out on Curt last night (along with your shrimp addition)….a definite winner!
I love seeing your trek through culinary school–what an awesome experience. So glad you're doing it!
Thanks, Melissa. Glad Curtis liked it! Michael was a big fan as well.
