Hello! This morning I did an easy 5 miler with my brain movies. It was nice 
And I ate food.
Then I got my eyebrows threaded. I do threading instead of waxing because otherwise I look like the flying tomato for 3 days. I think threading hurts more than waxing, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
Tonight’s dinner featured Skinny Noodles. The company sent me a big stash of them recently. It’s been a long time since I had Shirataki noodles and these are basically the same thing.
They are zero calorie noodles! Isn’t that crazy? I think they’re made of unicorn meat and organic oxygen. 
I knew from experience that it’s important to rinse them very well before cooking with them. So, I rinsed them thoroughly and then patted dry with a paper towel.
Then, I added them to my chicken in peanut sauce stir-fry and mixed it all up. It was delicious!!!
INGREDIENTS: Purified Water, Konnyaku Glucomannan and Calcium Hydroxide
Product of U.S.A.
I’m A-okay with the consistency, I think that’s the only odd thing for someone that’s used to ‘normal’ rice noodles. These noodles are best used as a replacement for Asian type dishes more than Italian noodle dishes.
Peanut Sauce Recipe:
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2 TB. Sriracha
- 1 packet stevia(or your fave sweetener) OR 1 Tb. agave/maple syrup
- 1 TB. soy sauce or liquid aminos
- 4-5 TB hot water <- I was cooking rice noodles too and used the boiling water from that. Add more water for thinner sauce.
Mix it up. Eat it up. The end.
Today I wore my new favorite shirt and put it on Instagram because I’ve recently come to realize that beauty and fashion bloggers get the mean hookup in blogland.
So, I’m thinking about switching to be a fashion blogger. Just need to figure out who to work yoga pants into every style trend post… 
Okay maybe not.
See ya later!
I get my eye brows threaded as well. I think they look more precise than waxing.
Can you buy those noodles in store? I am totally sold. Also totally sold on your sauce – going to make either tonight or this weekend. YUM!!
I’d totally read your fashion blog!! Lol. As long as “just the tip” isn’t going anywhere! 😉
i never tried those noodles before. but will give them a try 🙂 i practically live in my yoga pants too.
Yum!!! I think this sauce could be very versatile. Can’t wait to try it. And I’m glad I’m not the only one who wears yoga pants daily while working from home. 🙂
Brain movies! Haha, love it. Those noodles seem way too good to be true… Must get my hands on some.
Any idea if Trade Joe’s or Whole foods or any chains carry this brand of noodles? Now I need to try..I just read online some Asian markets may carry similar noodles.
Skinny noodles?? I’m intrigued!!
You can order them from Amazon for a good price. The Dukan website also sells some different varieties – including spinach.
I started soaking the noodles overnight in milk and that took away most of the odor – I read about it online – now I have to do it or they gross me out. My husband can’t stand them because of the texture. It takes some getting used to, but when you’re hungry, they do the trick!
I have a bunch of NoOodles that I still need to finish up. Rinsing them is a definite must. They smell so grodey otherwise!
Yes. I should warn people to NEVER smell them.
Where do you get Skinny Noodles?
They are at WF and I’ve seen them at Ralph’s locally.
I’ve seen these noodles at Whole Foods. Don’t know if I want to drop $3 on a bag of calorie-less noodles, though :\
And I totally saw a runner wearing that Los Angeles shirt yesterday in the park! (I’m in St. Louis)
So cool that you saw someone with that shirt 🙂
Your dinner sounds delish! I will have to see if I can find those noodles around here. I love love peanut sauce so I am definitely going to give your recipe a whurly!
So true on the fashion blogger thing – if you check out the top sites on bloglovin – all fashion! Weird!!!
I would much rather read fitness stuff and see people in cute workout clothes (makes me feel like less of a slob knowing other people might sort-of live in yoga pants, too).
Peanut + sriracha = genius! Awesome thinking there. I’ve never heard of skinny noodles. Do they sell them at places like Whole Foods or are they at regular grocery stores? They seem worth trying out. 🙂
They are at ‘regular’ stores near me (like Ralphs – do you have that?) but also Whole Foods.
peanut sauce is my favorite – I make it with soy sauce, coconut milk (or regular milk if thats what I have), peanut butter and a bunch of spices! I think I’ll try adding sriracha next time.
Interesting noodles. I love peanut sauce with Asian noodles. True story. I made a large batch of a similar recipe for dinner one night. I ate it all before my husband got home. Embarrassing.
I totally almost did that too! I had to set some aside because I kept going back for more. And more. And more.
To say I’m skeptical about 0 cal noodles would be an understatement. 🙂 But, I think I’ll have to track some down and give ’em a shot.
Your peanut sauce looks great.
You’re totally right to be skeptical, it’s not exactly like real noodles but a good sub for dishes that use rice noodles.
You should also fry an egg and add to the mix.
Yes, I go by the rule – “Always add an egg.”
What? That’s a thing 😉
Love that shirt! Where’d you get it?
The LA Marathon expo.
I like to boil those noodles for a few minutes and then melt in some laughing cow cheese- it makes an awesome alfredo.
Love the t-shirt! Where’d you get it?
At the LA Marathon expo.
That final meal looks so good! I make a stir fry kind of like that, but I am going to have to try those noodles and that peanut sauce! Thanks for the recipe!
Yeah, hope you like it!
Yum! That looks seriously good.
I am totally interesting in those noodles (or noodle impostors). If I see them in stores, I’ll have to try it! And thanks for the peanut sauce recipe. I love spicy peanut sauce.
Also, the skinny noodles are a great substitute in spaghetti or ramen!
I put that little part about not using it in Italian dishes because I don’t think it works well as ‘real’ spaghetti (especially for first time users). What kind of sauce do you use?
Well, Italian dishes are the best with real pasta obviously, but if you’re trying to cut the calories on a classic marinara, what I do is:
1. Rinse the skinny noodles
2. Saute the skinny noodles on low heat in olive oil.
3. Add marinara to the saute-ing noodles, keep tossing.
4. Add grated parmesan, basil, crushed red pepper flakes, 1-2 tsp of Cholula, salt & pepper, and keep mixing.
5. Use scissors to cut the noodles up as they cook (because they often clump up)
6. Add marinara as needed.
7. Plate & eat!
I think the extra cooking & flavoring really enhances the taste and texture, and although it’ll never be just like the real stuff, it’s a great calorie-cutting substitute!
