I’ll never forget the very first time I heard about Thai food. My mother and aunt were talking about a Thai restaurant they had gone to and my aunt said she doesn’t understand how they put peanut butter into their curries. The thought completely appalled me and I vowed to never eat Thai food in my life. Keep in mind, I was only about 12. Fast forward a few years, and I’m addicted.

The smell is intoxicating and I am almost always reduced to a…
After all the excitement of this weekend and the SA BLOG AWARDS, it feels like I should be doing a lot more than just sharing my recipe for Pilaf with you. But after all, that’s why you guys love reading this blog, to get the recipes! For someone who always claimed she doesn’t like rice, I’ve become quite adventurous with it lately.
