I started a new job recently and I have less and less time to cook a healthy meal for the hubby and I. This super short and quick thai green curry recipe is a god send for me. Also, usually by the time I get home from work I’m hangry. Like get-out-of-my-face hangry. I just want to eat anything and everything. You know how some people need coffee before they socialize in the morning? Well, I need to eat when I get home before I start conversing with anybody.
This typically leads to me making bad decisions food-wise because I’m so anxious to just shove something into my face. Luckily,it requires very little effort to make this creamy, spicy, and healthy dish. It’s paleo, vegan and vegetarian. I can’t get any more San Franciscan than that! Just kidding..it could be organic and local. I kid, I kid.
