Thai Fried Rice



There is a great Thai restaurant in Williamsburg, Brooklyn called Sea that we love. It's a cute trendy spot with a great vibe and a DJ. When I go, I always get the fried rice, because it's just amazing. We don't go that often because it's about a 50 minute car ride without traffic, so I was on a mission to make this myself, and after researching and experimenting, I managed to get very close. Thai fried rice gets it's unique flavor from the fish sauce, soy sauce and chili peppers. The jasmine rice is a must! I used chicken this time, but I have also made this with shrimp, or pork. Here's the recipe.

Wine Spritzer


I love having a glass of wine with dinner every now and then. But, when I am watching my points, I make a Wine Spritzer instead. It cuts the points and carbs in half. I prefer Pinot Grigio or a Reisling, but you can also use a Rose, Merlot or Chardonnay instead.
