If you follow me on snapchat (stephlouiseatb) or instagram/instagram live (homeinhighheels) then you likely know my obsession with Asian-inspired dishes. This is one I had waiting in the wings for some time. I’ve transitioned to low carb but I found a few posts that never made it into the limelight! I’ll give low carb variations below but honestly- this is the kind of dish I splurge on a few bites of carbs. Keep reading to see how to put together this simple but delicious dish for yourself!…
Spicy Thai Basil Sriracha Deviled Eggs Recipe
Fun fact: I used to completely hate eggs. This likely surprises those who follow me on instagram (check me out right here for more food, style, & adventures!) because even recently I’ve posted breakfast tacos & portabello scrambled eggs. But go back 10 years & that was just the beginning of me even bothering to give eggs a shot. I’ve come a long way since then! Today I want to share my personal favorite snack involving deviled eggs- keep reading to check out my Thai Basil Sriracha Deviled Eggs Recipe….
Spicy Poached Chicken Breast with Thai Basil in Ginger Broth
Are you a soup fan? I go for weeks eating soups as my lunch at home. Something about the warmth & often something spicy just makes me happy. It can also really help with weight loss & making us feel more full! This recipe was adapted from the Poached Chicken with Bok Choy in Ginger Broth recipe from Martha Stewart Clean Slate Cookbook, p. 232. I’m in love with the recipe overall but I subbed in some flavors & ingredients I almost always have on hand. This is an easy one that is sure to please & adjust for anyone wanting to use up some ingredients!…

Loading InLinkz ...Simply Tasty Thai Peanut Sauce Recipe
Have you ever had Thai peanut sauce? Bottled sauce is okay for most but the real stuff is so easy to make & tastes so much better! Later on this week I’ll have the recipe for the noodles for the Foodie Friday Linkup but for now, I bring you this magical sauce. I seem to go through peanut butter phases- one day I want it for every meal & the next it is a back-of-the-cupboard type of condiment. I’m finicky. This Thai style peanut sauce never lasts long though- I put it on everything from noodles to stir fry to chicken breasts. It makes an awesome dipping sauce as well! Keep reading to whip up your very own batch! This isn’t spot on traditional since I prefer to use my own pizazz & items in my pantry- adjust accordingly!

So there you have it! I’ve used both chunky & smooth peanut butter int his recipe & both work fine- I find it is personal preference. I normally use smooth & then if I want some extra crunch I can always add some rough-chopped peanuts. I usually jar this or put it in a bowl then store extra in the fridge. This sauce is perfect to recycle into a new recipe another day or night! I’ll be showing you possibly the easiest noodle recipe ever this Friday using this sauce so feel free to prep some! What are your favorite peanut based recipes? I feel like they are sadly often overlooked!
