Let's make enjoy Thai Basil Chicken dinner tonight.
I did not grow up eating Thai Food but we love eating Thai for dinner many times a month. So, I'm big on research and testing to have all my restaurant favorite's recipes tested/tried to cook at home. You know, in my humble opinion, this has few benefits as well:
- Eat favorite food any time. Don't just crave, go to kitchen and make some!
- Never miss the dish enjoyed in a restaurant when you move out of a city. This was one of the main reason for starting CDH. We moved 6 times in past 12 years. For example, when we were in Seattle, we loved eating Thai. But when we moved to Bay Area, a few dishes I couldn't find that good, anywhere. So, make at home!
- Cooking at home is of-course economical. Once you perfect the recipe, these is no waste/hit/try etc. With my blog, I'm doing that job for you. Let me know what do you want me to cook next?!
- You know the ingredients. There is no need of preservatives, extra pound of sugar or oil.
- Save time. Cook in less time at home than it takes to carry out.
- Stay healthy. Eat only what you need, not extra because you paid for it.
- Instill habit of gathering around kitchen in family. Perfect family time.
- Big smiles when everyone love the dish you cooked. :-) Pure bonus.
Isn't it amazing to cook at home after all?
