Nothing Bland Here

Thai food is one of my top 3 favorite cuisines. I had the very tasty red curry chicken at Seattle’s Basilic Essentially Thai. It was nothing short of delicious and evoked memories of my travels there. Some of the best memories include dining on the beach with stars in the sky and the sounds of the ocean waves near by.

I haven’t been active on this account for awhile but I’m brainstorming some new ideas on creating content related to food, fashion, art and music somehow into one cohesive website. I’m a multi passionate who is trying to tie my interests altogether under one theme. Wish me luck! I appreciate any advice 💜

I wanted to share this recipe since it’s so delicious. Its easy to swap different vegetables to make it your own. I always include corn and peppers. The home made tomato enchilada sauce is very good also (link within recipe).

Highly recommended!

✨Dreaming of these Spanish style mussels with white wine sauce.✨

Besides choosing the freshest seafood, it’s all about the sauce, which is very easy to make:

🔹 2 lemons, squeezed 🍋
🔹1/2 cup olive oil
🔹1 clove fresh garlic, chopped finely
🔹1 large yellow or white onion, chopped finely
🔹1/2 cup white wine
🔹salt, to taste
🔹fresh parsley 🌿 for garnish

I love dipping pieces of fresh bread into the sauce. It’s so tasty and satisfying, you literally don’t need anything else.

Transfer to a large bowl. Then add:

🔹1/2 cup brown sugar
🔹1/2 cup white sugar
🔹1 tsp vanilla
🔹1 egg

Mix well until it becomes a nice consistency. Then add:

To make what I call a Raw Veggie I whipped up some fresh guacamole and spread it over top the pita bread, then I added vegetables I had on hand which included mushrooms, corn, tomato, onion, cilantro, sun dried tomatoes, and feta cheese. Then I added a side of plain yogurt, sprinkled with green onions, for dipping. It’s somewhat Mexican food inspired.

🔹Vanilla Chia Seed Pudding🔹

Chia seeds are a wonderful and versatile super food which can be added to a plethora of different recipes. For something creamy and sweet (but not overly sweet) try this easy and customizable recipe:

🔹1/4 cup chia seeds
🔹1 cup plain yogurt (thick Greek- style yogurt is best)
🔹1 cup milk, or milk substitute like almond, coconut, soy, rice, etc
🔹1 tsp. vanilla extract
🔹a pinch of salt
🔹2-3 tbsp. honey or maple syrup

Simply whisk all ingredients together in a medium sized bowl. Cover and let sit overnight to set. Now’s the fun part where you can add your favorite toppings, such as:

* sliced almonds
* raisins
* banana slices
* mango chunks
* pineapple chunks
* shredded coconut
* sliced strawberries
* raspberries

Today I added fresh pineapple and pear, plus a sprinkling of raisins. 😍

Happy Sunday!
