My first experience with Thai food wasn't that long ago. I'm a relative newbie when it comes to Thai cuisine. There was a Thai restaurant in my hometown, but it was vastly different than the Thai food I've had since then. I'm thinking that place just called itself Thai, but was more like a dumbed-down… Continue reading Thai Peanut Chicken Flatbread

Thai Turkey Salad
There's one weird quirk about me and food. I can't eat anything that's blue. I mean unusually blue---I'm not talking about blueberries or blue crab. I'm talking neon-blue-ish. Remember many moons ago when Heinz released blue, green and purple ketchups? I couldn't bring myself to eat the stuff, even if it did taste exactly like… Continue reading Thai Turkey Salad
Chopped Thai Chicken Salad
It's cold, dreary, dry--- and the holidays are quickly approaching. What better chance than now to whip up a salad for lunch or dinner? I know, I know, it's not really salad weather. The winter months don't really invoke a cool & crisp salad mood. But with the as busy as everyone's schedule has been this close… Continue reading Chopped Thai Chicken Salad
Thai Basil Chicken
The Asian influence on cooking is real in my household. There's probably a gallon of soy sauce in my pantry, along with fish sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sambal oelek, hoisin and peanut sauce.

For the first time in the almost three years that I've lived in my apartment, I did a thorough deep-cleaning. I cleared everything from all of the cabinets, tossed items I didn't need (like that marshmallow creme that expired in 2015) and scrubbed down all the insides and outsides of my cabinets. I guess it was just one of… Continue reading Shrimp & Broccolini Stir-Fry
Thai Potsticker Soup
With the weather gradually turning cold, all I can think about cooking are soups, stews, and chilis. Anything that is hot and liquidy sounds perfect to me on a windy, cold day in Oklahoma. I can't believe that when I was a kid, I loathed soups and stews. I still, to this day, can't stand… Continue reading Thai Potsticker Soup
Slow Cooker Thai Peanut Chicken
I was contemplating life this morning while peeling and cubing butternut squash. Yes, I was chopping a squash at 10 o'clock in the morning. Hey---the early bird gets the worm, right? I had to make something with it in the crockpot, hence the early morning squash choppin'. Anyway, I was contemplating the most random life things… Continue reading Slow Cooker Thai Peanut Chicken
