STUGA
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

looking for inspiration?
We recently painted our study a dark, moody green color. This is after we first painted it a muddy green, then repainted it a blue-gray. I guess what they say is true; third time’s a charm! The journey was worth it, though, because I’m so in love with this glossy green in contrast with the […]

Thank you for sharing these delicious and healthy meals! This is something I’m really looking forward to trying , just curious , fish sauce has always really intimidated me, a brand I bought in the grocery store was really not good and ruined a dinner I added it to. Do you have a brand that you could recommend that you like?
Definitely make this! Due to an unfortunate turn of refrigerator events, my white fish went bad but thankfully we used some frozen shrimp to great success. I didn’t veer much from the recipe first go around other than not being able to locate lemongrass. Now I add whatever vegetable/meat needs to be used up and just plop everything in at once after toasting the curry for less fuss and it still turns out great!! Sometimes I add a little red chili flake for extra heat. Such a good and tasty way to avoid food waste in my house. Highly recommend! Of of the best and easiest recipes I’ve found on the Internet ever!
Wow! I made this last night for my family and a couple friends. It was so super easy and my 7 and 9 year old liked it (that’s huge!). It was a huge hit with everyone. Thanks for making me look good!
Right?! So simple and such a crowd pleaser!

I made this last night and it was so good! Very healthy too! Love the Chris Cooks series!
Looks really yummy – but I have one question…the fish cooks in only 5 minutes? Really?
I suppose it depends on the thickness of the fish, but cut into small pieces, in simmering liquid, it’s pretty quick.
Do you make your own cauliflower rice or do you buy a certain brand?
We get the one in the Frozen food section. So easy.
Yum! This looks so tasty. Thanks for sharing your dairy-free recipes. My daughter is allergic to dairy so I’m constantly trying to find food that we can all eat as a family. I don’t cook fish often but this sounds straight forward so I will definitely give this a try!
It’s a really good one!
This seems like an AWESOME dish! I will be making it soon. Love watching your cooking videos. Their always AMAZING! Keep sharing cuz I’ll keep watching. ????
