Craving Pad Thai

[moonlitestarbrite 902]

i avoid take out. its a trigger food for me. i will eat far too much and its really high in calories.

i make this recipe: http://www.rachelcooksthai.com/pad-thai/

the recipe for one. if i am making for dinner, i quadruple it. i usually use broccoli slaw (or spaghetti squash) in place of the rice noddles. if you feel intimidated by cooking pad thai, watch her video, its actually really easy!

there is some evidence to suggest that giving into cravings for foods (which is a mental state, not a physical one) creates more cravings. i know this is true for me. its a slippery slope. i prefer to actually deal head on with what is causing the craving. usually it's stress or my period or both. or feeling neglected or not taking care of me and wanting to use food as a reward... because see how hard i work with little appreciation?? when i take good care of me, both physically and emotionally, i have way fewer cravings.

i really like this blog. she creates healthy high Protein recipes that reproduce the flavors of all kinds of yummy take out food. the recipes work for both my husband and me, and they are pretty easy and taste good too. we esp. love the meatball recipes... cheaper and easier for me to digest.
