Thai Vegetable Curry Bowl

Welcome to our weekly Foodie Friday link up! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama, Emily from Whatever Floats Your Oats, Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl, and Cassandra from Powered By Bling, to create awesome healthy recipes each week! Today’s theme = Pinterest Curiosities! Make sure you hop around to check out all the amazing recipes in this link up and feel free to add your recipes as well!

This week’s theme was somewhat inspired by the fact that I’m sure a lottttt of us have 349328432 recipes pinned on pinterest. (I know I do…) Well, here’s your chance to make a tinytiny dent in your pinterest collection! Choose a recipe to make a link up with us! :]

I know I tend to go on and on about how much I love salmon sashimi. In fact, it’s even sparked a couple conversations about proposals and marriage. But my other favorite cuisine? Thai food.

Back in Davis, I was spoiled by all my favorite genres of food. We had a plethora of sushi buffets/restaurants (10) and Thai restaurants (8). (I’m fairly certain that at one point while I was there, there were about 14 Thai restaurants and 7 sushi buffets + 5 other restaurants that served sushi.)

I’ve been craving Thai food lately, which may be due in part to the beautiful pictures Jess has been posting on her blog and on her instagram.

It so happens that I acquired a bunch of free vegetables because we had an impromptu lab last week (complete with a free dinner of ravioli + a salad bar! <3 ). Somehow, no one wanted to take the rest of the salad bar home… so don’t mind if I do! (Gotta save money where I can, right? >_>) Waste not!

In honor of my love of Thai food (and the fact that I got some Thai curry paste from the Reading Terminal back when I went to Philly), I decided to adapt this recipe in accordance to what I had in my fridge/kitchen! :D

  6. I wish I was a curry fan. My husband loves it! I have a hard time with foods that are very aromatic. It gets stuck in my nose and it just is hard for me to eat it. I’ll keep trying though!
    Melanie recently posted…Friday Five: Fitness FindsMy Profile

    1. Aww, darn! How do you feel about peanut sauce? Next week’s recipe is curry-less and glorious, and would probably go well with this bowl too! :D

  7. This looks magical! We love Thai food. I can’t wait to give this a try. :)

    Esther recently posted…Foodie Friday: Pear ApplesauceMy Profile

    1. I was definitely spoiled in California with food diversity; I miss that a lot, but at least it’s forced me to learn to make it on my own!

  14. Oh my gosshhhh yum!!! Can you please just come and live in Vancouver and cook for me? I’ll help you pay for med school :D This seriously looks sooo good. I love thai food but have never tried making it at home before!
    Ariana recently posted…Five Reasons to Run a Half MarathonMy Profile

    1. Oh em gee, I totally would if I wouldn’t have to take a whole ‘nother set of boards! (I do actually have a Canadian citizenship! :P ) My med school tuition if horrendously expensive, so I’d never wish it on a friend! :[ I’ve been looking into a couple programs in Washington lately, so we’ll see what part of the country I eventually end up in! :O

  15. I’m with you on the 4928209 recipes pinned on my Pinterest boards! I think I’ve only made one or two, haha. I’ve been reallllllly craving Thai food lately – this look amazing!
