I can’t wait to make this again – the possibilities are endless!

Tomorrow is another long day with conferences after school until 8pm, but I will be getting Subway delivered to school, so there is something to look forward to!

Today flew by again and after a few more Christmas shopping stops, I made it home. The countdown is on at school, the kids are getting pretty excited!

7 1/2 days of school until Christmas/Holiday Break!

So, on to tonight…I was hit by this urge for PAD THAI. I don’t know where it came from, I don’t really ever eat Thai food. But I wanted it tonight!

The recipe – a little of everything.

Pad Thai

• 1/2 bunch of asparagas – cut into pieces
• 1 can water chesnuts
• 1 can bean sprouts
• 1 can bamboo shoots
• 3 egg whites
• 1 c. baby scallops
• 1 pack of rice noodles
• 1 packet of Pad Thai sauce (semi-homemade)
• 1 tsp. chili garlic sauce

Steps.

1. Spray a skillet with PAM and add: asparagas, bamboo shoots, water chesnuts, egg whites, baby scallops. Heat until scallops are cooked completely.
2. While the veggies are cooking, cook rice noodles according to the package.
3. Add sauce to the veggies and scallops and mix with the noodles.

I had mine minus the noodles. It was amazing!

And this is what we have been addicted to for the past few weeks. This may be the reason my posts have been shorter and less detailed. I am obsessed with Wii Tetris!

That is me and Brady (green and blue) but this game I was playing with his Mii and he was playing with mine. That is why he was still playing when I took the pic!
