31 Days of Frugal Meals // Day 24 Spicy Chinese Noodles

Today's recipe came about when we were first married and Jeremy started doing P90X. He was seriously sticking to the diet and I couldn't stand the canned tuna smell, one day I broke out the recipe book and found the pasta love of my P90X dieting life. It took some serious playing around to perfect the recipe, they only gave the individual portion size in the book. I usually make my Stir Fry Cabbage when I make this, but today I didn't. I just grilled up some stir fry round steak and tossed it in the carb heavy protein dense pasta dish. 

The first time I saw this recipe I wasn't sure about the peanut butter, but trust me it is good.
