Homemade Sloppy Joes are the ultimate comfort food. The first thing that always comes to mind when I hear the words ‘sloppy Joes’ is Mary Kate and Ashley’s movie, It Takes Two – which let’s be honest, if you were a girl born in the mid-’80s or early ’90s was totally your jam. The epic food fight scene that ensues when a bowl of macaroni and cheese ends up on the dad was quite possibly my most favorite scene from the movie—coming in at number two: Ashley’s first experience with a Sloppy Joe sandwich....

published Jun 15, 2022, updated Oct 30, 2024 When all is said and done, this quick and easy coconut shrimp curry is ready for your table in just 40 minutes. There’s so much flavor, sauce, and texture to the dish, so I recommend serving it simply with steamed white rice. It’s made with yellow curry paste, which isn’t as hot as red curry paste but still spicier than green. And it’s remarkably mild for a Thai recipe, all things considered — the banana (that’s right, banana) and creamy coconut milk are very cooling....
