Thai Chicken Pasta

So tonight was one of those late nights after soccer practice and dance class. Mama is tired and so are the kids, but everyone has to eat. Luckly the kids can manage baths with little assistance and I wanted to try something new. And as luck would have it, I had all the ingredients...okay not all, but most...substituted here and there, but it all came out fabulous!!! I got this recipe from I'm an Organizing Junkie My pictures came out almost as good as hers...and the meal was finger licking good! So if you have nothing planned for tomorrow's dinner, try this!
