Satay Chicken Noodle Salad 1

I’m totally bummed the weekend is over. It flew by and before I knew it, I hadn’t meal planned or grocery shopped and I was writing a very detailed grocery list to send hubby to the store with. I crossed my fingers that he showed back up with…most of the right things.

While he was grocery shopping, I was making zoodles for the week. We have about 3-4 zucchinis a day coming from the garden and I’m having to get creative. You’ll know what I mean when you see my weekly menu below 😉

Before zoodle-making, the weekend was filled with lots of fun stuff. Friday afternoon started with an ultrasound where I got to see baby girl. She was measuring 4 lbs 13 oz (72nd %ile) and all looked good! I didn’t get any pictures because her arms and hands were covering her face the entire time.

From there, the weekend was filled with the beach, blueberry picking, petting cute animals, play dates at the splash pad, burgers for lunch, tennis, and a nap! A nap! Take a backseat, Monday.

I’ve got a set meal plan this week and I’ve got to follow it – my fridge has absolutely no leftovers (and GOBS of fruit!). Packing lunches for the week will be a challenge without leftovers for now. I’m wishing I had some of this delicious Satay Chicken Noodle Salad for a healthy, filling start to the week.

This all-in-one salad offers up loads of flavor, color, and textures. Better yet, the salad can be served cold, at room temperature, or warm – whatever you prefer! I promise – you will LOVE it!

    I would totally say to try this with zoodles in place of half of the spaghetti! Mmmmm….
