Sesame Noodles

They make a terrific light dinner, and they’re the perfect pack-and-go lunch for the office, too.

I’ve been seeing lots of comfort food recipes online, and for some reason people are already talking pumpkin-based foods. It’s only the middle of August though, and as much as I do love autumn, it’s hot here and we still have another month of summer to get through. So rather than think about winter squash and hot apple cider, I’m still eating a lot cooling salads and grilled meals.

Sesame NoodlesSesame Noodles are a go-to summer meal for me. They’re great for either lunch or dinner, and they don’t require too much heat – just what’s used to boil the water – to prepare. They can be eaten right away, or they can be chilled and eaten straight for the fridge.

I’ll look for any excuse to add tahini and sesame seeds to my meals. They are high in calcium and other minerals, and they’ve been shown to help aid in everything from bone health and cancer prevention to easing migraines and lowering cholesterol.

I made these Sesame Noodles with carrots, red pepper, and snow peas, but feel free to use whatever vegetables you have on hand. This dish would be equally as tasty with sliced green beans and mung bean sprouts.

    I’m sooo ready for all things pumpkin and lovely fall weather, but alas, it’s still hot here too, so summer recipes are where it’s at. Veggie heavy easy noodle dishes are the perfect summer fare! Looks delicious!

    Lovely! It’s still hot here too and cooking anything that takes too long just isn’t an option. And as much as I love fall foods, lets make the most of summer while we can. This looks perfect. I adore anything sesame!
