Sesame Peanut Noodles

Sesame peanut noodles are one of my husband's favorite weeknight meals.

These noodles are super easy to make and make a great entrée or side dish on busy weeknights.

This is also a great meal prep option!

This recipe has a funny story. The summer after I graduated college, I was waiting to start my "big girl" job and my husband was waiting to start med school.

Needless to say, we were broke. I bought two twenty-four packs of Ramen, and after getting sick of the soup after a few meals, I needed to get creative.

So I started to try out different sauces with ingredients I had on hand.

This was the winner and has since been one of my go-to meals when I need something quick and comforting. You can't beat a cheap, weeknight meal that's ready in 15 minutes!
