The Best Paleo Pad Thai Recipe

There’s nothing better than a big bowl of comfort food in the winter. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be something healthy! This recipe for Paleo Pad Thai from Superfood Weeknight Meals is both comforting and healthy.

This might just be my most favorite meal ever. It’s completely grain free and low carb (using spiralized vegetables in place of noodles) and completely over-the-top delish. And that sauce . . . you’ll want to lick the bowl when you’re done! It’s delicious and nutritious. What more do you need when feeding your family?
