Who hasn’t realized at 5:45 that they forgot to prep dinner? I certainly have. More than once. So often, in fact, that I created a delicious, quick, and healthy meal that uses pantry staples. My Easy Peanut-Ginger Noodles come together in the time it takes you to cook noodles and taste way better than anything you’ll order on an app or pull out of your freezer. Don’t tell anyone, but sometimes I forget to make dinner on purpose so that I have an excuse to make this dish!
Peanut Sauce:
3 tablespoons JUSTIN’S® Honey Peanut Butter
1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar (can substitute with Apple Cider Vinegar)
2 teaspoons Shoyu (or Soy Sauce or Tamari)
1 ½ teaspoons Freshly Grated Ginger
¼ cup Warm Water
Red Pepper Flakes, to taste
Noodles:
1 box Cappello’s Fettuccine (or 9 ounces Pasta of choice)
8 ounces Veggies (Frozen Stir Fry Veggies, Snap Peas, Carrots, Mushrooms, whatever you have on hand)
1. In a small bowl, whisk together sauce ingredients. Set aside.
2. Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
3. Add in the fresh veggies to the pasta water during the last minute to cook. If using the frozen veggies, pre-cook before adding to pasta.

6. Serve immediately with additional red pepper flakes, as desired.
Gluten got you down? Well, you don’t need gluten to have a good time. Mix yourself up a nice bowl of Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip. You can invite people over and enjoy it as a dip for apples or keep it for yourself and enjoy it with a spoon.
Go bananas with this Peanut Butter Apple Banana Bread sure to delight your palate. Banana bread is one of my favorite baked goods. When I was putting this recipe together I thought, “How could I justify this recipe?”. The answer was simple, I’ve added JUSTIN’S® Honey Peanut Butter (that’s me, Justin), honey apples, apple sauce, bananas, and my not-so-secret ingredient, love, for a truly exquisite loaf of banana bread.
