Fri Fam Faves: Nutty Noodles!

I'm about a month overdue for one of these features.  Today I'm sharing a recipe that is Audrey approved. 

If you haven't seen my previous posts mentioning this, my 5-year old daughter, Audrey, is a bit picky and often fickle about her culinary preferences.  

However, she loves peanut butter, cucumbers, noodles, and green peppers.  So a dish that combines them is right up her alley. 

So, I present to you...NUTTY NOODLES!  A delectable dish that is similar to Thai Peanut Noodles without the heat. 

BEST...FOOD-RELATED BIRTHDAY PRESENT...EVER!

Okay, maybe not best ever (that honor would be a sixer of HopSlam and a Godfather stuffed deep dish pizza from Papa Murphy's), but very close. 

If only the TV show inspired by this book was as good...or any good for that matter.  Seriously, I lost interest once I realized that Anthony Bourdain wasn't on the show.  So, as alluded to in the title, my birthday is this weekend and my lovely wife is throwing me a party.  I will have to post pics next week.

Drink Review Monday DOUBLE FEATURE: Bell's HopSlam and Dogfish Head 120 Minute Pale Ale

So, after a near month's inactivity, I have returned with an as promised Monday Drink Review.

For this inaugural entry, I have decided to copy my co-conspirator contributor on Epic Portions and do a review of HopSlam.

First, a little back-story about my budding relationship with Bell's Brewery.  I had just discovered this awesome microbrewery last May when I went home to good old Saline, MI for my post-deployment leave.  I had some of their Oberon summer ale and quite enjoyed it.  It was bittersweet, though, knowing that as a microbrew in Michigan, I would probably be hard pressed to find their offerings once I returned to VA.
