I am ready to have one of those lazy kind of days. What about you?

This restaurant style Shrimp Pad Thai can now be made in the comfort of your own home!

You know the kind where you have no responsibility to wake up to (job, kids, etc). Oh ya I think that’s called a vacation. Well I had one of those in October so I doubt I’ll get another one anytime soon. Especially since November through February are my busy times of year with my job (HR – benefits, healthcare, payroll).

And then let’s add in the busyness of the holidays. We have 1 wedding, 5 Christmas parties, and I haven’t even begun to decorate! Luckily, I have done most of my Christmas shopping though – whew! So if you need some gift ideas check back soon for my holiday gift guide.

Make your favorite take out meal at home - this Shrimp Pad Thai will become your favorite!

So with no vacation on the horizon I think I might want to order in some take out and binge watch a series on Netflix. That is if the two rascals will let me turn off Disney Jr. Oh who am I kidding? Guess my TV marathon will have to wait until the kiddos go to bed. But one thing that won’t have to wait til bedtime is this dinner.

Back in Indy there was this noodle place I went to all the time for lunch. They had every kind of pasta imaginable. And that is where I discovered Shrimp Pad Thai. When we moved back to Alabama there was no noodle place and no place that served Shrimp Pad Thai quite the way I liked it.

So of course what does any food blogger do? Take it into their own hands and create the perfect version. And I have to say I did a pretty good job. What do you think?
