Some nights you just need to take some time out for yourself to relax and enjoy the evening. To not run off to the gym right after work or hit the trails, etc. Time to just do what's needed at home, for yourself, like whipping up a wicked dinner for you and your boyfriend.
I couldn't come up with a clever name for this one but it was delicious nonetheless.
Red Curry Tempeh with Spinach Rice Noodles

* 1.5 - 2 cups of cooked rice noodles
* 1.5 cup of freshly chopped spinach
