You can make the peanut sauce anytime and reheat just before serving. It may thicken up a little so you might have to add additional water to it.
The soba noodles should be made just before eating. Or you can make them in advance and add a little oil to them to prevent them from sticking together.

This is a beautiful, colorful salad. Rinse the quinoa carefully before you cook it to get rid of the saponin.

There are lots of variations for this recipe. The first time I made it, I took a fresh carrot and just cut it up into small dice.
The last time I made it, I cooked the couscous in vegetable broth to add a little flavor, then I nestled the grain salad onto a bed of baby spinach leaves, added a few coins of cucumber, extra peas (because I love peas) and microwaved wax beans and then added them, as well as some orange pepper dice.
It’s just a lovely canvas to add veggies to.

This lush smooth soup from Thai-Lao cuisine lends itself beautifully to a Thanksgiving feast. Large wedges of cooking pumpkin, with pale gray-green skins, are sold in Caribbean and Vietnamese and other Southeast Asian groceries. Choose the pumpkin with the reddest flesh. You can also use North American pumpkin or kabocha squash.

Wonderful mild chocolate brownie like dessert.

Something different. Colorful

Fun and easy to make. Looks rather like dog food
