This easy lunch came together on a whim, but ended up being amazing! A few weeks ago, my coworker and I brought everything for Vietnamese spring rolls to work for lunch and made them all week! I had made a peanut sauce for them, and couldn’t get it out of my head (I could probably drink the stuff!). So when I needed a sauce for the last of my brown rice pasta, I knew it would work perfectly.

Naturally vegan, gluten free and dairy free, this lunch fits nearly every diet except grain-free diets…You might be able to get away with it too, if you use a paleo pasta/sugar alternative! I used a brown rice spaghetti, which is still pretty chewy even after being fully cooked. I found it was a good noodle served cold for this reason, as you might want them with a little more structure in your mouth.

Homegrown Spotlight: I planted cilantro this year in a pot…Here’s to hoping it makes it through all the rain! And I stuck some green onions I bought at the store in the garden, and they’ve been looking very hardy. Finally, this isn’t “grown,” but I did use our own homemade peanut butter in this recipe, so I was able to control all the sugar elements that went into it. You can learn how to make peanut butter here! We are also approaching the end of our local honey we got from a friend…can’t wait to try this year’s “vintages” from our local folks!

I realized I’d been light on the actual meals section on the blog recently, so I’m glad to bring you another entree!

    I’m kind of obsessed with peanuts and peanut butter, so cold peanut noodles are right up my alley! I’ve never tried brown rice spaghetti, but it sounds like it has a great texture for this cold preparation. Looking forward to trying this one!
