Vegetable Pad Thai
/
Who doesn't love Pad Thai! It's one of my favorite dishes ever. We rarely eat out, and when it comes to Pad Thai, there is usually MSG already in the sauce. So that's a no :(
It is really easy to make yourself, and that way you know what is really going into it. Pad Thai usually calls for peanut butter- which I will sometimes use, if I have a quality one on hand- but I prefer almond butter. Peanuts are more susceptible to being contaminated with Aflatoxin, which is associated with an increased risk of liver cancer. Plus, almond butter has 69% more calcium, twice as much fiber, 86% more iron, and 169% more vitamin E than peanut butter.
