Thai Coconut Chicken Soup {Tom Kha Gai}
I’m a bit smitten with everything about this soup. From the glorious broth, to the tender chicken, right through the lovely aromatics, Thai Coconut Chicken Soup is perfectly balanced.

Thai Seafood Chowder
Mussels simmered in white wine, garlic and butter, in my opinion, rank right up there with Scallops Wrapped in Bacon. So why would I mess with an absolutely delicious recipe? Rhetorical. Because Thai Seafood Chowder not only sounds like winning, but the addition of coconut milk, red curry paste and Serrano peppers took comfort to a new level.

Ceviche {with Halibut, Scallops & Shrimp}
We celebrated Shelby’s birthday last evening. When I asked her what she’d like for dinner she said “one of your amazing Ribeye steaks.” To which I gladly obliged. I wanted to come up with a fun and light appetizer to start us off. I remembered a time when Shelby and I met for lunch at a Mexican restaurant in town. As soon as we sat down she said “you’ve got to try their Ceviche.” I had no idea she shared my love for this chilled seafood salad.

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.

Spicy Green Sauce
Our new love of North African flavors has led us to discover a unique blend of spices and ingredients. This Spicy Green Sauce from City Kitchen,called chermoula offers just that. A slightly spicy pesto-like sauce that infuses the heat of serrano peppers, with the very bright and green flavors of lots of fresh cilantro and scallions, and finishes with a hint of tart lemon zest. We paired this sauce initially with our North African Chicken, but are certain it would be delicious with fish, beef, or lamb.
