Vegetable Pad Thai
I think it is safe to say that Thai food is my absolute favorite! Before traveling to Thailand and introducing my palate to different curries, this was my Thai go-to dish! It is still a fav of mine. The mix of peanuts with the freshness of basil...topped with fresh squeezed lime juice... so so so good!
