I often get asked where I come up with all my cooking ideas. It’s amazing to think that just a short time ago I cooking repertoire was fairly basic. Now I didn’t know it at the time, really. I just cooked what I knew and knew what I cooked. But when I started blogging I had to start thinking outside the tried and true.
That brings me to things like coconut milk. Or Sriracha sauce. And thinking that cilantro was for Mexican cuisine only. Limes, oh they are for margaritas, right. Nope. I tell you, I have leaned a lot about cuisine and I have so much more to learn. I am no chef, but I know what I like. Which leads me to this coconut milk soup. To die for and then-some. But I would not have ever know that if I stuck to the traditional meals I grew up on.
So next time you THINK you don’t like something, give it a try. Then come back and tell me what you learned.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
