Gluten Free Asian Peanut Sauce

Happy Sunday, Everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend! We've been trying to maximize our weekends with doing errands one day and having fun the other day. Life gets crazy during the week and I feel behind if I can't get some prep work done. I also don't want to weekends to be all about chores though. Life is about having fun and enjoying the time with loved ones :-)

Peanut sauce Yum!

So this weekend I worked on my Asian peanut sauce recipe. My hubby has been having some health stuff going on and we've had to cut high fat foods out of his diet but we love Asian food! I had gotten powdered peanut butter in the past at Costco and decided to experiment with it for a peanut sauce for a vermicelli noodle dish. The powdered peanut butter has 90% of the fat taken out so it's safe for hubby but still tasty!

This sauce would be great with satay or used in a noodle dish like I did. Who doesn't love peanut sauce? Hope you guys enjoy! Quick post today but I want to go out and enjoy the California sun with the hubby and babe :-)
