Does Labor Day mark the end of Summer for you? It usually does for me and my family. As kids my family, cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles spent our Summer days at a campground starting the day we got off of the school bus until the Monday of Labor Day weekend. Fast forward 20 years and their are now 5 (and a half, one more due this Winter) great grand kids spending our Summer days and Labor Day weekend at the same campground. We gather food, drinks and campfire chairs to talk and just be together. This campground is special to me in so many ways but mostly because my parents met there at the age of 15, my sister and I grew up there and now my own kids get to grow up there.
We have themed weekends for our Sunday Suppers on holiday weekends! This year we are having Mai Tai’s and Chinese food! So when I saw that this weeks theme, “No Labor” recipes I just had to make these Spicy Thai Noodles for #SundaySupper. I love quick and easy dishes that you can whip up and bring to any party or celebration. Make sure you scroll down for more inspiration there are tons being shared today.

I love a good noodle recipe!
Thai noodles always get my attention! Yours sound delish—though I’m sure I’d have to tone down the heat, too 🙂
We almost always grill for weekends like this, but I love the idea of having a good theme, instead! Especially if that means I can have these noodles!
This is my kind of comfort food, Tammi! I love spicy noodles and yours look delicious!
Such a great dinner! Love that the peanuts add crunch!
Wait, 2 tablespoons of sriracha is a good start. That’s coming from someone who loves super hot Thai food. Anyway, nice dish for a holiday celebration or actually any day of the week.
I love everything Thai! Great, easy recipe!
I love this recipe. It is perfect!
I always think of my mom when I think Thai food – this will be a hit!
We love Thai noodles and this looks great. I am not vegetarian so I might serve it with some satay on sticks, but even for Vegetarian or Vegan friends an appie of spicy tofu cubes would be well received too. And Thai iced tea! I love to have that too.
LOVE Thai food and this looks spectacular!
First of all, you have a BEAUTIFUL family! And second, I want a big bowl of these comforting noodles right now! I haven’t used linguine for Asian — but I know I would really love this dish! YUM!
Thanks so much Valerie!! I used homemade linguine from the market down the street- it was awesome!
So many happy faces, Tammi! Your cooking brings that out in people!
Awh thanks so much Cindy! XO
Spicy Thai noodles are one that my husband always loves, and a non-spicy version works with my son too, These look great.
This is the perfect recipe to add the amount of spice you prefer!
Love thai flavors and this looks perfectly spicy and delicious!
My husband bought a lot of Thai noodles when I was out of town, looks like I now know of one recipe to use them!
