It has officially been 3 months since we started posting our Weekly Meal Plan posts. We’ve gotten a lot of great feedback about these posts, and one comment made us realize that it would be a great idea to share even more with you all. After much deliberation we’ve decided to start sharing some of our recipes with all of our readers! We hope that you’ll enjoy the variety of meals we have on our menu. They are mostly vegetarian, some including fish, and occasionally meat on the side because Max is not a vegetarian.

This week’s meal plan included a great meal that Max has always made without following a specific recipe. He loves cooking by tasting his food, not by measuring it. I knew it would be challenging to share such a recipe with you all, but I kept a good eye on him while he made his famous Shrimp Pad Thai last night so I could share his secrets with you all!

We always make sure to prep our ingredients on the counter before we get started. That way we can tell if we’re missing anything and run to the grocery store if need be.

Once the Shrimp Pad Thai gets cooking, the entire house just smells so good. I’m craving some right now just thinking about it!
