Thai… for two!

Last night we headed out on the town for a date night to our favorite Thai food restaurant.   SO GOOD!
Dave started off with Thai Tiger Beer

Isn’t he a cutie?

And I had a virgin lime margarita

Then our SUPER yummy food came – we always order 2 dishes and share!

Dave ordered the special which was “Gaeng Sap Pa Rot” aka Pineapple red curry with coconut milk, red peppers, broccoli, basil leaf and duck for the protein.

Sorry for the blurry pics, it was my old camera and no flash!
This was delish – we wouldn’t have it with duck again, would have been mucho better with chicken (or tofu hehe)

Mine was AMAZING!

Pad Lemongrass – A stir fried red and green peppers, onions and broccoli in a lemongrass mixed sauce, with a side of coconut rice (I heart coconut rice)

Fantastic food (as always)  we love this place and don’t get their often enough! 

Guess what I had for breaky this morning! :)

with some kale mixed in for flavor!

Yes I ate Thai food for breakfast!! So yummy!!

I also decided that if I eat one bad thing in this world, it would be white rice – I’m not a huge fan of brown rice (at all) but I love white rice especially coconut rice – so there!



What do you normally order when you go for Thai?

After reading about everyone’s delicious greek yogurt, I have been craving yogurt like CRAZY lately, so I went and got some of my soy stuff.

It’s pretty sweet – but I like it as an occasional treat!

HOT TOPIC - What are your thoughts on Soy products?

I never know if I should eat them or not!

Dave also got me a gift yesterday – so cool. 
I think I am going to put it up in our bedroom!

I love the saying too!! Thanks hunny – love you!

As for this morning – I got down and dirty and did about 25 mins on the Wii (including 10 mins hula hooping (again) and then 25 min on the EA Sports Active – concentrating on my BOOTY!!

Well we are off for an exciting Saturday – library (yes new healthy eating magazines/books) and then out for dinner (sushi) with some friends!! 

Hope you have a great Saturday and stay tuned I have some interesting recipes floating around in my head for the next few days!!

Homemade Soy Yogurt

Ingredients:

    * 1 cup soymilk (I’m sure you could use any type of milk?)
    * 1 T fresh lemon juice
    * 1-2 T agave (or any other sweetener- I used 1 T agave)                   

    * 1 T cornstarch
    * 1/2 t pure vanilla extract
    * fresh strawberries, chopped small (optional)
  

Directions:

1. Mix soymilk + lemon juice together and allow to curdle. The milk bubbles a bit when you add the lemon juice.  Embrace your inner mad scientist and cackle ever so evily!

2. After 30 seconds or so, add in the agave and cornstarch. Blend with a hand blender until smooth.

3. Pop into microwave for 60 seconds on high.

4. Stir, stir, stir.

5. Microwave for another 60 seconds. Stir, stir, stir.

6. Add any mix-ins you want (she suggests vanilla extract, lemon zest, fruit, etc). I added fresh chopped strawberries (about 3) and 1/2 t vanilla extract.

7. Microwave for 60 seconds. Stir and then pop into the fridge to chill. Stir before eating.
