Thai Larb Salad
When life gives you Boston Bibb lettuce and chicken, the first thing that comes to mind are lettuce wraps. Our Chicken & Cashew Lettuce Wraps are a favorite but these Thai Larb Salad cups may have just inched them out in a popularity contest.

Thai Green Curry Baked Cod
We recently attended a wedding where we were treated to a most spectacular buffet of Thai food. The appetizer spread alone captivated our attention without end (check out my collage below). And when the dinner dishes were set out we approached them with the same enthusiasm. That’s fancy talk for multiple trips through the buffet line. While I was oh so happy with everything served, the Green Curry was still lingering in my mind three weeks later.

Tom Yum Soup {Thai Hot & Sour Soup}
It had been entirely too long since I stood embraced by the best hugger I know. My kid! She delivers the kind of hug that reaches through the front of you and radiates out to the tips of your fingers and toes. The kind that inspires you to start a blog post about Tom Yum Soup {Thai Hot & Sour Soup} with a hug.

Crab Rangoon Dip {with Wonton Chips}
Crab Rangoon Dip {with Wonton Chips}. Crab Rangoon are such a favorite around here. We even make them from scratch from time to time. But that was before I served this dip to my family on Sunday and then again to my work family on Monday. I think we’ll be cutting corners (instead of individually folding and deep frying) and jump right to the good stuff from now on. It was a huge hit!!

Thai Pumpkin Soup {and a new toy}
Thai Pumpkin Soup. There was a time a few months a go that I heard there might be a shortage of canned pumpkin. Wait. A shortage of canned pumpkin? Seemed ridiculous. So I only bought 10 cans. Now I’m approaching the “Simplify” month(s) when I long to strip my pantry down to only the most essential ingredients. Some people cleanse, I purge the pantry. I have a few more cans of pumpkin to incorporate into dishes.

Sesame Chicken {Lower Sodium}
Sesame Chicken. This recipe recreation was too good not to share. We recently made a fabulous dipping sauce for some sweet potato steak fries and the key ingredients were agave nectar and soy sauce. One taste of it and my love for sesame chicken came rushing back.

Sushi Stack
I must admit I’m quite proud of my Sushi Stack. Not only was it delicious, but it looks so pretty in a picture. And we all know how important that is :) Every time I visit Whole Foods I look forward to winding my way through the store, ultimately reaching the seafood counter. They don’t always have sushi grade tuna but on this day they did. What a huge treat and such a delicacy.

Chinese Pork Tenderloin {with Garlic Sauced Noodles}
Pork. The other white meat. I absolutely loved this Chinese Pork Tenderloin with Garlic Sauced Noodles. I’m still loving it, reheated the following day. There’s something really special to me about being able to prepare Asian food at home. As much as I LOVE Chinese restaurants, I’m not crazy about the way I feel after consuming MSG and sodium laden dishes. By making recipes at home you control the freshness and the ingredients.

Plum Pork Tenderloin {Slow Cooker Version}
Plum Pork Tenderloin. More and more I hear friends and coworkers grumbling about deciding ‘What’s for Dinner.’ It seems to stem mostly from lack of time to prepare and/or lack of inspiration. On occasion Lemony Thyme finds herself in a similar predicament. That’s exactly what sent me to Cooking Light in search of slow cooker recipes, where I found this Plum Pork Tenderloin recipe.
