So in an effort to blog more often and to attempt to use my camera on a daily basis, I took photos of a meal I made last week! I've been meaning to do this for well... literally years. When I actually get around to it, I really enjoy cooking! So why not take photos of something I enjoy right? Well let me tell you... the only thing that takes longer than chopping/spiralizing a bunch of vegetables is chopping/spiralizing a bunch of vegetables and then taking pictures of them. But hey.. worth it, because this meal was both beautiful and incredibly delicious.
And so, I bring you - A Cruchy Thai Noodle Salad! The original recipe is from The Glowing Fridge, which I found via Pinterest.
Below you'll find my beautiful vegetables, unrealistically styled and placed on my favourite plates that I rarely use because they're so pretty!

rice noodles (I just made a bunch)
