I love that my family lets me experiment with lots of new flavors. Thai food is a favorite of mine, and my kids love it, too. I don’t make it a lot when the hubby is home, because he hates peanuts. I love peanuts in my pad thai. So pad thai is usually something we enjoy when he travels for work.
A while back I shared a recipe for a Shrimp Pad Thai Wonderpot. It is a super tasty recipe that cooks all in one pot. It has terrific flavors, and I have had many of you write to me telling me that you used chicken instead of shrimp and it was good both ways.
Last week I was craving Thai, and decided to make up a new recipe for you that had chicken in it.
Now I think we should make it with shrimp, what do you say?

Why, oh why do I come to your website when I’m hungry? And worse, when I’m experimenting with something that (I’m pretty sure) won’t turn out? You’ve done it again, Michaela! If this tastes half as good as it looks (and I’m sure it does), you’ve created a real winner. Shame on me for coming here hungry!
YOU have food that “doesn’t turn out??” I don’t believe it!! 🙂 Come by anytime! Healthy appetites are always welcome!
