Ever since I can remember my family has made sure that dinner was a time where we all sat down and ate together. There has always been a few problems and the first is that no one is really good at cooking. The other is that my household is full of allergies and therefore my family is forced to have bland dinners. My father is allergic to gluten, onions, garlic, mostly all spices, chocolate, and recently he thinks milk. In return I have grown to hate spices even simple black pepper. Usually it is too complicated and too expensive to create a wonderful gluten free meal that everyone likes so we go out to eat a lot. Chicken pad thai has recently become my favorite food within the past four years because of the amazing textures of softness and crunchiness combined. The flavors just pop for me and while some may taste my spice-less pad thai and call it bland or boring, to me it is a wonderful change to the usual plain chicken and brown rice at home and I just LOVE IT!
