Nothing is faster or easier than a stir fry. With some coconut milk and red curry paste, I might as well be in heaven. This is where it's at.
It's Thanksgivings eve and the last thing I want to think about is turkey. I'm going to have piles of turkey and turkey leftovers tomorrow. So tonight all I want is a quick and simple meal. Nothing is faster or easier than a stir fry. And it's my secret weapon when I feel like we have been carb binging and I need to sneak some veggies in. With some coconut milk and red curry paste, I might as well be in heaven. Who needs a turkey? This is where it's at.
OK, won't lie. I still want some turkey, but that's only because I make a mean curried turkey pot pie too!
