Sweet Thai Chili Chicken with Bok Choy and Chinese Eggplant

This last week I was lucky enough to help plan a cooking class for the Dietetics and Nutrition Club.  We had a local chef from a nearby hospital come and teach us his ways!  I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences I've had with food.  The whole experience helped me confirm the fact that I NEED to go to culinary school after college.

One of the members forgot to get a main ingredient for the class which was red curry paste.  The chef quickly changed up the menu and made Sweet Thai chicken with coconut rice, a coconut chicken soup, and for dessert cantaloupe soup with cracked black pepper and a splash of heavy cream!

All of the food was heavenly.  I learned so much and couldn't wait to remake the food at home.  Now that it is officially Thanksgiving break I have sweet amazing TIME to cook!!!

Tonight I made the Sweet Thai Chili Chicken.

Excuse the poor lighting photo.
