Thai Noodles

Church potlucks are a great place to collect recipes. For many years, I was married to a Presbyterian minister so I have attended a plethora of potlucks. I was pretty good at asking people for their recipes and have amassed a huge collection of them. The potluck is a great place to try out new things and although there are still some rather interesting Jello concoctions at the table, many new dishes are appearing.

This recipe found it's way to a potluck in Fort Pierce,Florida and I just had to get the recipe. The lady that brought it was on vacation but she took the time to write it down for me. It's perfect for summer and for me could be a main dish. Enjoy!
