Guys, the doctors think I have a C. Difficile infection. That is all I am going to say, because, well, this is a food blog after all. And you don’t wanna hear about it any more than I want to think about it (although if you are wondering why, it is probably from being on…
Weeknight Thai Style Stir Fry
SO sorry for the extended absence! It is spring break this week, and I was gone starting last Thursday at my parents’ house. Also, with the crazy weather we have been having, I have serious spring fever. Not much cooking or baking around here, more like trips to the park and sitting on my hammock…
Simple Nam Prik Pao Fried Rice
I have a fabulous post to share with you about the meal I made for Christmas Day–but it will take a moment to organize, especially in the recipe department. I wanted to get something out in the meantime, and this simple, short post about nam prik pao, or Thai chili jam fits the bill perfectly.
The Spiced Life Style Sambal with Veggies, Eggs, Cashews and Rice (and Turkey?)
Happy Thanksgiving! I know everyone is featuring fantastic things to do with leftover turkey right about now. But… I hate turkey. I personally think we have been brainwashed as a nation to think that the driest, most boring meat imaginable should be the centerpiece of our most food-oriented holiday feast. But I won’t go on…
Massaman Braised Beef Curry
When I make Thai curry paste I always try to make extra and freeze it. Except for the making of the paste, Thai curries are ridiculously simple, and there is something so indulgent and wonderful about being able to just grab some paste and whip up a really tasty curry. I do try not to…
Pan Seared Tilapia with Thai Sweet & Sour Veggies
I have some advice for people planning summer vacations with kids who are at that just starting school/preschool age. Don’t plan them for early-mid August. You will return home and poof! just like that your summer is over and you are scrambling to get them ready for school. Supplies, back packs, preschool open houses, etc….
Som Tom (Thai Green Papaya Salad)
Have you ever tried to write about a food 2 weeks after eating it? It’s difficult. Happily for me, however, this salad is quite memorable as it actually makes my top 5 list of all dishes or foods of all time–and that is including desserts. OK now that you have picked your jaw up off…
Thai Chicken Satay
This recipe ruined me for all other satay. Which is kind of a shame really because it is certainly more labor intensive than other satay. But it is oh so worth it. Because of the labor involved, I recommend doubling the paste recipe and freezing the remainder, so that the next time you want satay…
An Even Better Thai Green Curry & Evil Good Toasted Corn Nuts
I have been a bad blogger. Like many bloggers, I get various product offers, most of which I ignore but some I take advantage of because I am genuinely interested in the product. One of those was an offer from Superior Nut to send me some of their stuff to test. Of course right after…
