Ok, so I do have a legitimate reason for why I haven’t been my usual, recipe posting self lately. As many of you know, I recently posted about how Cody and I are expecting a baby! And while these are exciting times, that first trimester nausea was nooooooo joke.
GUYS.
That stuff is as real as it gets, haha. And, well, let’s just say that at this point I firmly believe that I will never not get sick from the smell of my refrigerator. Cody even deep cleaned it and everything. Mama friends: do those first tri smells ever smell normal again???
I actually feel much better now (I’m 16 weeks today!), but that smell makes me want to throw our refrigerator away and light it on fire. Kidding! Maybe.
But let’s move on to better things…
These Sesame Tahini Noodles (w/ Roasted Veggies) are vegan, gluten free, and SO easy to make!
Thankfully, aside from coffee and a handful of other ingredients, most food smells didn’t make me super sick in the first tri. I made these Sesame Tahini Noodles just a couple of weeks ago and they totally hit the spot!
Now, let’s talk Shirataki Noodles. More specifically, Tofu Shirataki Noodles. And even more specifically, House Foods Tofu Shirataki Noodles!
I bought these the other day having never tried them before. To be honest, I was a little nervous about cooking them because I had absolutely no experience with them. But guyyyyyyzzzz, they are the easiest EVER to prepare! Not to mention super delicious and perfect for recipes like these Sesame Tahini Noodles.

Drain the noodles, rinse, and then boil for 2-3 minutes. Pat them dry, then cook them in a little bit of oil for a couple of minutes before mixing in your favorite sauces and ingredients!
