Tasty Thai Noodle Soup

My friend Becky and I shared the most delicious soup (and vino).  Too good not to share.

The recipe comes from Heather Christo and it could not be easier to make or healthier to eat. Especially for those of you who like to stay away from dairy and gluten like me (ha! well..most of the time:). I seem to have this constant craving for all things spicy and noodles.  Thai has always been my jam especially because the ingredients usually consist of rice noodles, spice and coconut.  Duh.  Sharing this tasty Thai recipe in hopes there are others out there who share my curious cravings.

Hugues Beaulieu Picpoul De Pinet

My all time favorite summer white wine.  You cannot find a more perfect, light and refreshing white wine for $10 bucks.  It's a steal and always at Whole Foods or Total Wine. 

 
Cheers to the LONG Freakin Weekend!
