This Thai Burrito Bowl is delicious, healthy and vibrant, and best of all, the leftovers can be used to whip up Thai Fried Rice a day or two later. Affiliate links have been used to link to items I am discussing. Hopefully I am floating under blue skies in the Caribbean as you are reading…
Curried Kitchen Sink Soup
Curried Kitchen Sink Soup is a fantastic and easy soup that can be adjusted to whatever you have on hand–including Thanksgiving leftovers! I am still full of the good drugs for these back spasms, so once again forgive anything that does not make sense and please just email or comment and let me know! I…
Thai Yellow Curry Paste: Using Thai Yellow Curry Leftovers
Thai Yellow Curry Paste is easier than you think–but divine enough that you will not want to waste it!

Leftover Pot Roast Ramen Bowl
This Leftover Pot Roast Ramen Bowl is a fantastic way to use up leftovers–in this case I used a Malaysian Pork Shoulder in Caramelized Soy Sauce, but most pot roasts would work. This is a blueprint rather than a formal recipe, because what specific ingredients you use and how much will depend on what you…

Braised Honey Chicken and Broccoli Fried Rice
I recently discovered Pinterest, and it has been a lifesaver this holiday season. Obviously year round it is a great place to discover new things, but even without that aspect, it has been a wonderful way to keep track of recipes I want to try, and more significantly, specific recipes I want to make for…
