I’m so excited to share this coconut curry recipe with you today. My mom used to make this years ago and I remember it being one of my favorite recipes. The flavors are all so different but somehow they all combine together and make it work. My best friend made an unladylike face when I mentioned the various flavors in this and cringed when she saw just how many sweet and salty foods are combined.
I told her I wasn’t sure we could be friends anymore.
How could you not like curry and pineapple mixed together? But this meal takes it a step further and adds mango, bananas and peanuts to the mix. And peas! This is the meal to make for company (unless they’re averse to sweet + salty like my dear J). It takes a lot of ingredients but it’s super easy to make and feeds a crowd. And if you have kids in the bunch who are pickier eaters, they can munch on rice and and fruit, no?

I don’t wear yellow very often. I find that it completely washes me out but I made an exception when I noticed yellow popping up everywhere this season and when I ran into this little yellow dress at Zara. I immediately grabbed it and added it to my embarrassingly large stack of clothes headed for the fitting room. Surprisingly,…

I love pretty much all salads: lettuce-less, fruit, vegetable, Mediterranean. Seriously can’t get enough of them. We eat salad several times a week, sometimes as a supplement to the main course and other times as the main dish itself. For today’s feast, I created another fruit-filled salad (remember my mango-strawberry-avocado salad and watermelon-feta spinach salad?) Clearly fruit salads…
