Easy Pad Thai {with Spaghetti Squash}
Pad Thai is my go-to Thai take-out dish. I love everything about it. Traditionally this is a noodle dish and who doesn’t love noodles, especially when they are stir-fried with eggs! Yum!! Today I decided to lighten it up a bit, so I substituted roasted spaghetti squash “noodles” for the classic rice noodles. Results. Two thumbs up in this house.

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.

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.

Grilled Vietnamese Chicken Thighs {with Mango Salsa}
Grilled Vietnamese Chicken Thighs. To quote my in-house taste-tester, “This is a flavor WIN.” I’ll take that as a thumbs up. Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs marinated in a jalapeno orange marinade, then grilled to perfection. So delicious and as a bonus, figure friendly.

Thai Beef Salad {with Fresh Herbs}
Thai Beef Salad. What a lovely way to enjoy a good piece of beef. I know most recipes call for using lean flank steak. And while I’m sure that’s very nice on this salad, on the rare occasion that we have steak, I prefer the most tender cut I can find. And that would be a filet. Grilled to medium-rare. Sliced nice and thin. It was that thought alone that inspired this recipe post. Every bite of this Thai Beef Salad is a flavor explosion.

Thai Hot & Sour Shrimp Soup {Tom Yum Goong}
International food flavors have grown in popularity over the past several years. As the foodie movement sweeps through cities and small towns alike, eaters are looking for ‘different’ dining options. College Cafeterias are becoming International Eateries as young foodies seek out fresh flavorful options. Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and Asian Markets are as popular as ever with home cooks like me, offering expansive and diverse ingredients.

Vietnamese Pork Tenderloin
Fish Sauce. No wait…don’t run away. I will admit that fish sauce is a little scary, at first. However it is the star ingredient in this dish and when combined with the many other powerful flavors it just gets happy. I found this wonderful Vietnamese Pork Tenderloin recipe in my July Cooking Light magazine. It’s well worth the 30 minutes or so of prep and all 25 ingredients.
