Celebrate the weekend with some scrumptious homemade pancakes that are also a cinch to make! These Easy Coconut Pancakes turn out light and fluffy, and are so good, my husband and I were eating them right out of the pan. Try serving them with my easy coconut syrup (recipe included) for a trip straight to coconut heaven! In Thailand, crepe-like coconut pancakes are a common street food, and while I do enjoy them whenever I'm there, I also love thicker, fluffier pancakes in the North American style. Here I've combined the two types into a recipe that I think will satisfy the toughest pancake critic in your family.(photo of Coconut Pancakes by D. Schmidt)

This weekend, treat yourself and your family to a delicious roast with this wonderful Roasted Lemongrass Chicken (with Sweet Lime Sauce)! Lemongrass chicken is a popular dish throughout Thailand as well as in Vietnam and other Southeast-Asian countries. Even in our western cooking tradition, lemon and chicken have long been paired for delicious roasted chicken. In this Thai recipe, east meets west in what I believe you'll find are beautiful results. Moist and fall-off-the-bone tender, this roasted chicken is accompanied by an easy sweet lime sauce, ensuring every bite is always moist and bursting with flavor. You'll simply love this roast chicken recipe - and so will your family (including the kids!). ENJOY!

Fish makes a smart meal this time of year and straight through the winter months. Why? Because cold-water fish provides us vitamin D - a nutrient we would normally get from the summer sun. Vitamin D helps to keep us healthy and happy (yes, vitamin D is the happy vitamin!). In addition, fish provides omega-3 and other oils which are essential to good health and soft skin/hair. For a fish recipe that never fails to disappoint, try one of these Top Thai Fish Recipes ! They're so flavorful plus beautiful to serve both family and guests. And as a bonus, you'll also get lots of tips to help you cook this delicate protein source just right. ENJOY! (shown here: Thai Whole Fried or Grilled Fish)

Make your dinner sizzle with flavor by cooking up a fantastic Thai stir fry! One of my favorite dinners is a stir-fry, simply because you can pack so much fresh goodness into one simple dish. And stir-frying means you don't lose any of that wonderful nutrition through over-cooking. But not all stir-fries are created equally. Often they're lacking 'that special something' which I call 'depth of flavor'. These Top Thai Stir Fry Recipes are created with flavor as a top priority. From chicken, pork and seafood stir-fries to vegetable and vegan stir-fries, these Thai recipes are brimming with taste and make for a nutritious, well-balanced meal - just add rice on the side for a healthy & delicious meal you'll be proud to serve. ENJOY! (pictured: Thai Chicken Stir-Fry with Mushrooms, Snow Peas, and Fresh Basil, photo by D. Schmidt).
