So yummy I forgot to take a pic before eating some…

So with the boys food issues we don’t eat many places out of the house. One of their favorite places to eat though is Pei Wei. They really are very adventurous eaters for kids, and I love that. I find that I get us stuck in a routine of what we eat just for convenience. It’s easier to shop for the same meals every two weeks instead of coming up with new and compiling a new list. Those same 7 meals x 2 I can shop for with my no list and screaming children and miss very few things which means fewer trips, which again saves money. LOL

Anyway I was in the mood to cook something different. I love to cook new things, hate cooking the same thing over and over… it’s the creative process I like more than the cooking I think. So a few weeks ago I was getting my hair did and read a recipe in a health magazine for a peanut sauce to serve over Chicken & Rice. It sounded yummy.

I googled for a similar recipe and found THIS RECIPE

I made some changes to it. I used GFCF soy sauce obviously. Most every soy sauce has gluten in it, but the gluten free varieties taste just the same. I used normal minute rice, normal vinegar, and cracked red pepper vs. cayenne just because that’s what I had on hand. I also tripled the sauce because everyone said it wasn’t enough. I think next time I would still triple it but I’d also add a 1/4c. of water as well to thin the sauce a little more. I also added broccoli. Oh and a smidge of honey as well.

Since Chase is peanut free as well as a gluten and casein free. I made his sauce separate and used Sunbutter instead of peanut butter. I turned out just as good, and his sauce was thinner just because the nature of sunbutter.

Anyway it was a fast and tasty recipe, one we will eat again.
