Cookies and Pad Thai

Discovered Glutino cream sandwich cookies, the Vanilla Dreams kind.....now you have to know that I am a chocoholic, but these vanilla cookies are just YUMMY! They come prewrapped 2 cookies together, and they are just delightful with a cold glass of milk!!!

I apparently got into some gluten this past weekend, soccer tournaments equals a lot of meals on the go and one of my restaurant meals was not so good.....I'm finally better, took all week.

I made Pad Thai last night, and I know Paula keeps asking me to post that recipe, but I cheated and used a box mix last night again. The brand that I use is Thai Kitchen....there are several flavors to choose from. The boys like the peanut one best.....Sean likes the original Pad Thai, it's a bit spicy (and when I DO make it from scratch mine is more like this)...and I also like the chili version of Thai Kitchen's.

I always add shrimp, and then some mix of these veggies julienned carrots, mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli, snow peas, etc., and of course roots (as David calls the bean sprouts). You can pretty much do whatever with this. Add some more lime and chopped peanuts. I forgot limes yesterday and you'd have thought I made it with grape jelly or something bizarre.......so don't forget the limes or the kids will give you one of those looks if we are visiting.

I PROMISE to make real Pad Thai from scratch sometime this year...HA!...and post the recipe. It's just been insane around here this month!
