Thai night!










So I was really excited about this one! We love Thai food. I picked recipes though that I had eaten before. It was still fun. Here are some photos. The one with the cabbage on the side is larb gai (Chicken Salad), this one is my favorite Thai dish. The noodle one is pad Thai with shrimp. Pad Thai is probably the most common Thai dish there is. What I love about it is that you can make it as spicy or mild as you like. The recipes are at the top. I served jasmine rice with this and iced Thai tea which is incredible tasting!

Chinese Food




About a month ago I decided to make a full on authentic Chinese food dinner. I thought I would share this as it was one of the most amazing meals I have ever made. Here are some photos. I will post recipes later.

The Food Experiment!

Do you ever get tired of making the same thing for dinner? Ever want to try different foods from around the world? Well I did. I challenged myself. I asked my family one night at dinner to help me out. Each night at dinner they would pick a different country. Any country. I would then research the country online the next morning and make a dinner from that country. Well I have been doing this for the last three nights. I can not tell you how amazing this has been. So amazing that it inspired me to write a blog on it. We have eaten Swiss, Madagascar and Aussie food so far. It has not been that difficult to find recipes. Of course some things I am not able to do because I am not able to find the ingredients. So the recipes I do pick are according to what I can find. So far I have not made anything they do not like. I will post what country they picked and the recipes I made for that country on here for anyone else to try. I will give our opinion on them and weather or not they were hard to make. Enjoy!
