Finally, it’s Friday and I’m so ready to curl up on the sofa and eat large bowls of this Quick Thai String Beans and Chicken with steamed rice.

Although, we shouldn’t be complaining as this week was such a breeze due to a long weekend (holiday on Monday and Tuesday).

But I guess all that long weekend partying, food and lack of sleep are making me so tired and restless.

So, we are planning to keep the coming weekend really relaxed…..maybe watch a new movie or stroll through our favorite farmers market…

Whatever we end up doing, the food is going to be really simple yet comforting.

Infact, the whole long weekend, we had so much of BBQ meat/drinks and dessert that we have been mostly eating cold soup or sandwiches for past 3 days now.

And as we both love Thai food, this is a perfect combination of taste+ease.

It has crunchy beans, juicy chicken with Thai flavors and I’m also adding some dry roasted peanuts for that buttery taste – Total #nomnomnom !
