I call this home base pad thai because it’s the safe house. The starting place. The jumping point for all other fun variations. Toss in some shrimp for shrimp pad thai. Add some bean sprouts for veggie pad thai. See? Home base.

Based on what’s been posted on the blog this year, there’s a pretty good chance you believe we aren’t eating around here. I promise: we are. What are we eating? Well, lots of simple things.
