I created this Pad Thai sauce recipe without tamarind because tamarind is so difficult to find unless you order it on Amazon. I live right near an Asian grocery story, and I still can't find it. Really, who needs to have yet another bottle hogging up space in the fridge? Totally not necessary! This sauce is the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, spicy, and savory, and it is enough for one family meal (1 pound of meat and 16 ounces of rice noodles). Why not skip that Thai takeout?

Food prices are through the roof right now! I try to cut out as much costs as possible, so this is why I created this delicious Pad Thai with ground beef recipe. Pad Thai isn't usually made with hamburger meat, so this recipe isn't "authentic" in any sense. But it is still quite yummy, and since it uses rice noodles, it is also gluten-free. (Just make sure to use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari as well.) You can cook up a whole pot of Pad Thai for a fraction of the cost.

I absolutely love shrimp. Maybe it's because I grew up surrounded by the ocean. Or maybe it's because shrimp is just delicious. This shrimp Pad Thai recipe features those large, raw shrimp that you can buy in a big bag on sale at the local grocery store. But you can use any kind of shrimp, prawn, or even scallops, either raw or cooked, frozen or fresh. Regardless of your choice, the seafood adds a wonderful flavor and texture to the dish, complementing the tangy flavors of the Pad Thai.

This recipe is for the classic chicken Pad Thai. It's a favorite for lots of people because chicken is versatile, cheap, and plentiful. If you use boneless, skinless chicken breast, it can also be healthy and a good source of protein because it is a lean cut of meat. I love chicken, but let's face it. It can get a little repetitive to eat it all the time. This Pad Thai variation uses familiar ingredients in an exciting way, transforming the ordinary chicken to add to your dinner rotation.

Crab has been an acquired taste for me, but now I love it. Today, I am making some delicious crab Pad Thai to satisfy my crab cravings before I get to take a trip to Annapolis, MD for the bestest crab shack in the world. You can use imitation crab if you can't find canned real crab, but the real deal is worth it. You don't need a full pound can to make this recipe, either. I used a smaller can (about 5 ounces), and there was more than enough crab to make this dish tasty.

I've made the entire rounds of different Pad Thai recipes with different meats, and now it's time for Pad Thai with pork. I'm not the biggest fan of pork, but it cooks up much the same way as chicken and in this recipe, it's surrounded by all those delicious Thai flavors. With this recipe, I made use of some pre-cooked rotisserie pork that I bought on a grocery store special. The pre-cooked rotisserie pork from the grocery store adds a flavorful twist to this Pad Thai recipe.

This beef Pad Thai recipe features thinly sliced pieces of cooked beef, rice noodles, and my special Pad Thai sauce without tamarind. It's very similar to my chicken and shrimp Pad Thai, but made for beef lovers. Although beef can be expensive, this recipe has just one pound of it, so it goes a long way. Fresh vegetables like bean sprouts, carrots, and green onions add crunch and color, making the dish both visually appealing and nutritionally balanced, but also to help counteract the salt.

This Thai iced coffee recipe really hits the spot during the hot August nights ... or mornings ... or just about anytime, really. Sometimes I go to the local Thai restaurant just to have their coffee. That's how much I love coffee, and that's how much I love this coffee. It's dark and dreamy, sweetened with the magical ingredient. (Hint: it's sweetened condensed milk.) This drink is great after some Pad Thai or Drunken Noodles, but one of my favorite ways is to sip it while eating Tom Yum.

    Hi! I am Maureen Gil

    I'm so happy you're here! I began this lifestyle site in 2012. I live in Pennsylvania with my husband, the youngest child (the oldest two have since moved out!), my dog, Joe, and my cat. I believe in sustainable living and doing what makes you happy. Recently, I started writing novels.

    I was talking about my site the other day, and someone made a recipe request: McDonald's Sweet and Spicy Jam copycat recipe! It's the first request that I've had. This recipe took quite a while to figure out, mostly because I never had it. So I had to do a bunch of reading online of what it was supposed to taste like, along with the ingredients list on the little container itself. If you've ever tasted it, give me a heads up about how authentic it is. Either way, I've heard it's pretty good!

    This is a wonderful recipe for how to make homemade strawberry jam. You gotta trust me, it's so much better than the store bought stuff, which contains all sorts of preservative and other yucky stuff. And it only has three ingredients: strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. I love to collect strawberries from my patch of evergreens. They are bursting with flavor ... but I don't get that many of them. I freeze them and make this jam. But don't worry, you can use store bought strawberries, too.
