Craving some spicy Thai takeout?? Me too, so I made it myself at home...and you won't believe how easy and delicious it is!!

With the pandemic still going strong here, I try to spice up our weeknight meals to keep us from getting into a rut or becoming stir crazy and bored. And, why not travel the world through your tastebuds when you can't physically travel?
