Noodles with Kale, Edamame & Peanut Sauce

Tonight's meal was the perfect dinner to have after a long weekend in the Twin Cities, eating things like crazy bread from Little Caeser's at 11pm. 

It was nice to come back to fresh vegetables in my fridge.  I used one large bunch of kale from my CSA box that I hurriedly picked up just before leaving town.

With a lot of laundry and unpacking to do this evening, a quick meal like this was perfect.  I had everything needed except fresh ginger, which Chris picked up on his way home from the gym. 

This weekend we had a lot of fun celebrating at my brother's wedding, but kale and gym time definitely felt like necessities today.

Not only did we enjoy a healthy dinner tonight, but I now have leftovers for lunch, so I can start the week out with a healthy lunch before my co-worker Jacquie tempts me to eat out later in the week :)
