Every now and then my kids floor me. They taste something I think they will never like and end up loving it! Rose recently tasted an Asian noodle salad that I bought in the prepared food section at Whole Foods. She loved it! I try really hard not to give the girls store bought prepared foods. I really like knowing exactly what is in the food we are eating. I even go as far as making my own fish sticks and chicken nuggets because unfortunately that is what the girls eat.
I decided to create my own Asian Noodles for Rose’s lunch box. They came out sooooo yummy that I want to share the recipe! It is really easy. All of the dressing ingredients go into a jar. Shake and mix!

Genevieve, let me be the first to comment on this recipe. I just made it and ate it. Not only is it delicious but very nourishing. All good ingredients, easy to make. I've decided to prepare whatever vegetables I want and freeze portions in baggies. Then I can heat them frozen in a covered pan or run them under tap water to unfreeze put them in with the noodles. MMMM Good. Yer mother xxoo
