WORD TO YOUR…. fill in the blank.

This stuff tasted AMAZING in the store.. most likely after yoga–so I was probably starving.

It was JUST OKAY once I bought it + ate it at home.

THIS was delicious.

Strawberries + Peaches + A Chopped up TJs Raspberry Vanilla bar–

Fun Fun CoCoNut water.. Electrolytes!!

Dinner involved A LOT of Chopping!!

And Saucing!!

Crazy Veggie Red Curry–

VEGETABLES:

• red bell pepper
• green bell pepper
• broccoli
• carrots
• fancy mushrooms
• zucchini
• bean sprouts
• snow snap peas
• bamboo shoots
• tomato
• secret ingredient–FRESH COCONUT MEAT!! (THANKKKKKS JENN!!)

SAUCE INGREDIENTS (rough estimates):

• 1 Can of Light CoCoNut milk
• 2 T red curry paste (taste of thai brand)
• 1/2 t red pepper flakes
• juice of 3/4 of a lime
• 3 T fish sauce
• 2 T brown sugar
• 1 T tamari (or soy sauce)
• 2 T fresh chopped ginger
• 1 1/2 T fresh chopped garlic
• 1/4 C fresh chopped basil (added near the end)
• green onion (I used the tops of 2 green onions)
• corn starch to thicken it

I taste it + play with it a lot while I’m cooking it + try my best to make it authentic + delicious!!

I would have used fresh lemongrass if I would have had it!!

Veggies–harder veggies added to the sauce first (ie:zucchini + broccoli) followed by softer veggies so nothing gets mushy!!

Paired with Jasmine Rice = DELICIOUS GIRLS DATE NIGHT!!!

ASHLEY + I had a nice romantic dinner!!

Meet DAKOTA!! One of ASHLEY‘s pups!!

Penny gnawed on her ostrich bone

Simple pleasures!!
