Green Papaya Salad (Som Tam) is a light, fresh, colorful salad that embodies the flavors of Northeastern Thailand. All of the ingredients are pounded together in a mortar and pestle which helps to develop the sour, savory, and spicy flavors. Once you taste this flavorful dish, it’s easy to see why it’s so well loved!…
Thai-Style Grilled Chicken (Gai Yang) is chicken marinated in garlic, lemongrass, cilantro, and fish sauce. The result is tender, golden brown, crispy skin chicken with layers of flavor. As the name implies, the chicken is usually grilled, but we’ve provided an oven roasting method that is nearly as good as grilling. To kick off Thai…
Happy February, friends! Over the past few years, this has has become a special month. It’s a month-long holiday celebrating a cuisine that’s close to our hearts. It’s Thai Food Month! The idea is simply this – February can use a little extra spark. The holidays are behind us and spring still feels too far…
Not just for vegetarians, a whole roasted cauliflower is a beautiful dish to serve to guests but is easy enough to make as a side dish for any meal. The top gets golden brown and crisp and the inside is super tender. Serve it on its own or topped with creamy lemon butter caper sauce….

This tender beef is served in a rich Korean-inspired sweet and savory sauce. Cook brown rice at the same time – all in the pressure cooker / Instant Pot! If you ask my husband about our current use of our Instant Pot, the first thing he would tell you about is this recipe. We’ve been…
This guest-worthy dinner of salmon and gnocchi in a quick butter and sage sauce is super fast and just uses two dishes to make (one to boil the gnocchi and one to sear the salmon and make sauce). Including a fail-proof way to make extra crispy pan-seared salmon. Frank is a great cook, but you…
Mini Meatball and Orzo Soup is a cozy bowl of savory broth with Italian sausage meatballs and orzo pasta. I went to Philadelphia last weekend for a quick visit with some good friends from college. It snowed about 8 inches in Kansas City so my flight out of town was delayed. Landed late in Chicago…
This bright smoothie is made with mango, pitaya (dragon fruit), citrus, and turmeric. Naturally sweet, it’s packed with Vitamin C and all the inflammation-fighting goodness of turmeric. It’s a great smoothie for cold season. This smoothie pretty much says it all about the beginning of 2019 in our house. We’ve been (luckily) pretty healthy, but…
