KIMCHI FRIED RICE

KIMCHI FRIED RICE

There are myriad health benefits to eating kimchi…traditional fermented cabbage known to help regulate the immune system, promote weight loss, fight inflammation, and even slow the aging process - but I love it because of the singular, spicy kick it gives to food. Somehow the juxtaposition of flavor and style that come from both the kimchi and BLUE ELEPHANT red curry paste creates something special, delicious in this fried rice. Oh, and putting an egg on anything just simply makes it better.

MASSAMAM COCKTAIL NUTS

MASSAMAM COCKTAIL NUTS

My friends can’t keep their hands off of my nuts….my cocktail nuts, that is. This is a great snack to serve with beer, wine, or cocktails; especially if hosting a football game party. The brown spice from the BLUE ELEPHANT MASSAMAM CURRY gives these traditional party nuts an added kick and depth of flavor that is equally surprising and delicious.

We’re using pecans, almonds, cashews, and pistachios; but feel free to substitute your favorite nut combinations…I’m also quite fond of peanuts, walnuts, and Macadamia nuts. Snack, snack - thump thump!

THE METROBILLY G&T

THE METROBILLY G&T

t’s hot out there - so why not cool out and off with my dressed up METROBILLY GIN AND TONIC? It takes a few extra minutes to steep the fresh rosemary growing in your backyard to make a simple syrup….but well worth the little effort and time required. We’re using Calamity Gin from Texas, a clean botanical perfect with fresh lemon and woody herbs like rosemary and thyme. Sip Sip…thump thump!

GREEN CURRY AVOCADO HUMMUS

GREEN CURRY AVOCADO HUMMUS

This is my favorite way to make HUMMUS; a hit during the late summer months for dinner parties, especially when serving food with a Latin flair. The addition of BLUE ELEPHANT Green Curry Paste gives this classic HUMMUS a brilliant, bright bend of basil that works so well with the lime and avocado.

And if you’re a fan of avocado toast, this is a delicious way to enjoy it for breakfast, lunch, or healthy afternoon pick me up…guaranteed.

Thump Thump - dip dip!
