BL often chides me on my OCD-like behavior to decide which restaurant to eat at that night. First, I search the online menu, looking for interesting flavor combinations and of course, veg friendly meals. I will probably look at the menu a few times throughout the day, imagining what I will order that evening and checking my decision against reviews on google and yelp. I promise you, most of the time I know what I’m going to order before we even sit down.
Oh my goodness I wish I was kidding. As I write the above paragraph it has finally dawned on my how crazy I can get about food sometimes.
Please send help.
Anyways, there are a few dishes I am always looking for-korma at Indian restaurants, gnocci at Italian, big, beautiful salads at casual eateries and beets. When beets are in season they are all I want to eat.
Lately though, I’ve been looking for nuts.
Yes, nuts. I’m not sure what the recent obsession is but if I find a dish that contains nuts, I’m probably going to order it. Hence my recent meals out: pepita salad, banana walnut pancakes, and a weekly treat of peanut butter cupcakes.
Clearly, these noodles were bound to happen. A combination of my all-time love (pasta) and my current fave (peanuts). Set on a crunchy chopped salad for good measure. A match made in DK heaven.
Plus, it’s like 3 dishes in one! Fresh salad, creamy peanut noodles and roasted tempeh.
Dig in.

It takes me forever to order at a restaurant! Lol. Love love love pasta and this looks so yummy and refreshing. Pinned to try. 🙂
Hi Tina! Thanks so much for stopping by. Glad to know I’m not alone in ordering 🙂
I do the same exact thing! I can’t help it, I just want to make sure I pick the best dish. 🙂 This noodle salad looks delicious! I can’t get enough tempeh of late!
You’re not crazy!! I do the same thing with restaurants. So maybe…we’re both crazy. Hmmm.
I’m a peanut addict also and can’t wait to make this noodle salad!!
