A slow cooker recipe can be a time saver. I assemble the dish before I head out to work in the morning and it’s nice to come home to the kitchen smelling so nice and dinner ready to eat. Thai food has a great aroma. My whole family loves Thai food, so in the last couple of years I have searched out Thai recipes to make at home. It doesn’t quite compare to going out to eat for Thai food, but it does taste good. Most Thai recipes contain coconut milk and a curry paste, both items are readily available at the grocery store.
