Yummy Recipe

I really liked Smaller Fun Pants idea of trying a new recipe a week and I really just love doing new things. (even if it does take some talking into it) I found this recipe through the pampered chef Season's Best recipe book. It is only $1.00 and it has a about 10-15 recipes. Very Nice. Anyways the name of it is Thai Peanut Chicken Stir-Fry Salad. I love Thai food and my man spent a couple years in Thailand so I always like trying to make Thai food for him. It turned out beautiful except I didnt chop the romaine like I was supposed to but oh well. It was still delicious!!
