Thai Green Chicken curry features on our menu often, It is a breeze to make, affordable and delivers on flavor everytime. When making Thai Food, it is important to have all your ingredients on hand. A hot wok waits for nobody.Slice your vegetables and chicken beforehand and keep all the spices close by.
There are key ingredients in Thai cooking and your results will just not be the same without these. I am thinking of kaffir lime leaves, lemon grass, curry paste and fish sauce... Stock up on these items and you can have a lovely Thai curry on your table in no time...

Ps. I have to just confess before I log off!! At the moment I am running 3 websites. I cannot yet move over to the new one so I have to keep this one going, but it is tough!!! I am sorry for not visiting or commenting as often as I used to. I really am! I see that I have even lost a few "followers" and I am sad about that!! I think you all are so amazing and wish that there were a few more hours in each day!

It's hard to find enough time in the day to do everything and I completely understand. It happens to me all of the time. We have only one computer and my husband says I hog it too much. Fathers Day is coming up - think I should get him his own?
Hugs and hang in there. We love ya.

Never will I stop following! Told you, it's like my fix. Just shared 2 of your recipes with friends this morning again.
We all understand Tired. If I had time to blog half as much as you, I would actually feel rather proud of myself.
Shame....
Are you really tired? Well, managing 3 websites of course need lots of energy and dedication. I think you are doing pretty well Nina.
Chicken curry sound superb!
Stay well,

You havent lost me. I have just been busy and vactioning too. What new site?
I know how you feel...! I've been way to busy lately myself, so I haven't even have time to do much blogging at all... Sad but true! I have so many unread blogposts still to go through but it seems impossible to keep up at the moment...
The curry looks delicious!
I'm here for you Nina!!! I love your blog, it just gets so hard to comment on a regular basis, I wish there was an easier way, sometimes it's so overwelming and theres no time with everything else we have to do in our lives. Big hug, get some sleep!!
xox,
Marie
Hi Nina! I made Thai green curry last night, if the photos came out I will post it too. Haven't looked at them yet.
You are so cute. Gee, don't you wonder why you lose a follower? And in your case, all your recipes and photos are amazing. It's not as if there is a limit on following a blog. If someone left you, it is certainly their loss. Now, rest up, and don't feel any pressure, those of us who appreciate what you do will always be here.

Stunning pix, stunning recipe. Thank you again for all the lovely comments you leave on my blog. I love getting your feedback.
Chin up girl...hang in there...you're working too hard!
I'm partial to green curries and this is delicate, easy on the eye and no doubt delicious.
Please don't think you've lost ME, dear Nina!! But as you saw over at Cooksister, things here are hectic too :( Love the photo of you - I FEEL your pain! So when do we get to see the new site??
