Creamy Cashew Salad Dressing
I created this creamy cashew salad dressing recipe for my cousin who cannot eat (drum roll) dairy, soy, eggs, peanuts, or yeast. She wanted a creamy salad dressing, and after looking at others for inspiration, this is what we came up with. It is really nice, reminiscent of hummus, and pretty darn healthy! Please send notes and improvements!
Thai Shrimp Fried Rice (Kao Pad Goong)
Who doesn't love fried rice? Seasoned rice mixed with veggies, egg, and shrimp-it's a complete and satisfying one-dish meal! I enjoyed this rendition which was heavy on the garlic and scallion and seasoned with fish sauce and soy sauce. Serve with sliced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and lime wedges, and garnish with thinly sliced scallions. .
