Chicken Coconut Curry Soup

by alice on January 6, 2010 · 23 comments

Ten years ago, my friend Ann made this soup for our family when we moved into our house.  This has become one of my favorite soups and I like to prepare when I’m in a jam and need dinner quickly!  It is quite easy, tasty, and perfect for a cold winters night.  The blend of coconut milk and red curry paste is the perfect combination for a Thai style soup without any fuss.  I will warn you though, it does have a nice kick to it.  It will warm your bellies and leave you feeling satisfied.  If you don’t like spicy food, just reduce the amount of curry paste to your liking.

Quick and Easy Thai Peanut Vinaigrette

When Danica from Danica’s Daily asked me to guest post on her blog while she was on vacation, I thought “Why not?” I like Danica a lot and she has been a loyal and supportive follower of Savory Sweet Life. Reading her adventures of healthy eating is inspiring not only to me, but I’m sure to everyone else who reads her blog. My only dilemma was trying to figure out what type of recipe to post about. Even though she did give me an “out” by saying I could write about anything, I really wanted to come up with something that wouldn’t make anyone fall off the bandwagon. Lets just say I am no stranger to sugar, white flour, butter, and heavy cream. So instead I created a really wonderful salad Thai inspired vinaigrette. For the recipe, please check out my guest post on Danica’s site here. Enjoy!

A favorite Thai stir fry noodle dish at home: Pad Thai Recipe

by alice on June 1, 2009 · 28 comments

padthai
When I think of Thai food, I think of Pad Thai. Ever since discovering Joy’s Thai Food online 2 years ago, I’ve been making an adapted version of her recipe which I think has to be as good or almost as good as the local Thai restaurant we frequent. For 15 years I have had a love hate relationship with this popular Thai noodle dish. I loved eating it but hated preparing it. You see, I have this weird habit of trying to re-create dishes I love eating out at home. Most recipes I found used ketchup. So each attempt at making Pad Thai always resulted in ketchup tasting noodles. I even tried using boxed Pad Thai kits with not so good results. I wanted to be able to prepare Pad Thai as good as the local Thai restaurant down the street. This would be the only way I would ever be satisfied with preparing this dish at home.

I’ll have a Double: Iced Thai Latte Recipe

by alice on May 18, 2009 · 17 comments

thaiicedcoffee21For some reason today I was craving Thai iced coffee but ever since we replaced our broken coffee maker for an espresso machine, I’ve had to adapt my specialty coffee drinks into specialty espresso concoctions.

Today was the first time I tried making an iced Thai latte.  I was so proud of myself because it turned out so well.  A while back I purchased a bag of whole cardamon pods and have enjoyed discovering new and different ways to use them.  Today I used them to spice up my afternoon, literally.

Although I found several iced Thai coffee recipes on the internet, there were none for lattes.  So I decided to come up with my own.   Both my husband and I are so glad I did.  I hope you will be too. Enjoy! [click to continue…]
