I've been in the mood for lettuce wraps lately. I mean, I've been really craving them. I love using crunchy butter/Boston lettuce and wrapping up stuff like ground chicken, Thai-style vegetables and even just lunch meat. Lettuce wraps are always a super refreshing meal and great for a lunch when working at home. You could… Continue reading Hoisin Pork Lettuce Wraps

Thai Veggie Wraps
Since I only go to the grocery store once a month now, I have to eat all of my fresh veggies and fruits within the first two weeks. That leaves the last two weeks with just protein and pantry staples---a time when my craving for veggies intensifies. When I went grocery shopping this last week… Continue reading Thai Veggie Wraps
Thai Turkey Salad
Anytime you start a new diet, it's critical to research what you're getting yourself into. I made sure to read up on what all I can and cannot eat on the keto diet before I started it for the first time. It's amazing how many carb are in certain vegetables, and the fruits I can… Continue reading Thai Turkey Salad
Kung Pao Roasted Cauliflower and Brussels Sprouts
I have a dream where one day everyone will get on board with cauliflower. Cauliflower gets a bad rap; even more so now that it's the "trendy" food to eat. People knock on the broccoli impostor constantly on my social media feeds.But have you ever tried cauliflower? Like, really tried it? It just needs to… Continue reading Kung Pao Roasted Cauliflower and Brussels Sprouts
Spicy Turkey Potstickers
Y'all. I've got a doozy of a recipe for you today! I cannot stop eating these low carb potstickers I made. I even BURNED the bottom of the first batch and am still devouring the blackened crispiness in record numbers. They're that good. Low carb potstickers were a no-brainer for me. It's easy to just… Continue reading Spicy Turkey Potstickers
Vietnamese Chicken Salad
Sundays are probably my least favorite days of the week. Since I work overnights, I basically get a half day on Sundays. I'll typically wake up around 3 am, and then be back in bed at 11 in the morning. I get all my cooking done on Sundays, but that's about the only "fun" thing… Continue reading Vietnamese Chicken Salad
Thai Peanut Chicken Flatbread
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
Banh Mi Bowls with Spicy Meatballs
I realized just now that while I'm writing this post, I've used three different styles of writing today. Not just within this first sentence that your reading, of course. I'm talking about work and my favorite hobby. I started out my day writing for television. I try to make my morning show sound conversational, mixed… Continue reading Banh Mi Bowls with Spicy Meatballs
