An easy to make Thai Curry with tofu; this Peanut based sauce is super yummy and easy to make. Plus the recipe makes the curry and rice together in UNDER 30 minutes! One Pot meals are always on my mind. From recipes that make a rice with add ins to pasta and soups. I love them all! They save me a LOT of time, effort and yet make a satisfying meal.  Since I bought my Instant Pot, I have been using it for MANY recipes that come together in a jiffy. Most of the recipes I have on the blog using the Instant Pot are made using just the base. This is the FIRST recipe that makes a complete meal using the pot-in-pot method. And I am in LOVE with this. Getting together a meal in under 30 minutes is always a great idea, especially on weeknights.  Tofu is the protein of choice in our house and we enjoy it in all cuisines. From Indian to Mexican and Thai to other Asian cuisines; we love tofu in ALL these! I have a ton of tofu recipes on the blog that you can check out: Baked Tofu Bowl with...

We are seeing glimpses of Spring around us. My patio garden is finally growing, the flowers are back and I can see the bees and hummingbirds around them!  This year has been crazy cold and I have been waiting for the days to warm up since long. We saw Hail, rain and lots of wind here. Not really the best things to encounter while kids around are on Spring break! This time of the year brings with it some yummy fruits that I love. BLOOD ORANGE is my favorite citrus, given its flavor and awesome color. Every time they are in season, I stock up a few dozens and enjoy them while they last.
