containing the crazy while maintaining the fabulous
I love Indian food. It’s warm, the smell is intoxicating, the problem is that it doesn’t love me. Due to my allergy I can’t eat it so I’ve been in a quest to find recipes for DF replacements.
I finally found and easy one for butter chicken and now it been placed in heavy rotation in our house (our week meals are a funny mishmash of country, Indian, Middle Eastern, and more!).
Read MoreWell that was a lovely 2 week break for fall before we dove straight into winter like weather. Pot roast is a meal that just feels right on wintery days. That being said, American pot roast is often extremely heavy with the gravy and potatoes and is just too more than I need (not that Teddy or Zach care, they will eat pot roast how ever I make it!).
Read MorePumpkin is the fall’s version of shrimp in Forest Gump. Pumpkin pie, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin soup, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin … chili! While I’m not a fan of the PSL crazy I can totally get behind the rest.
Read MoreA fragrant sauce of coconut and curry mixed with sweet red peppers, tender cooked potatoes, and crunchy cashews, with chicken or chickpeas, made right in your crockpot! A dish fit for a dinner party or an easy weekday night in. So so easy and incredibly delicious!
Read MoreThere is nothing easier than a meal that involves 4 ingredients for the main dish. It's even better when those 4 ingredients fill your house with a sweet, mouth watering smell all day long.
We serve this chicken over cole slaw (the same as in the Carolina Pulled Pork recipe) and with baked potatoes or (this is new) Trader Joes baked french fries! The leftovers are fantastic the next day on a salad, or if you ask Teddy, with your hands while watching Curious George.
Read Moremmer time and the living's easy ...
if you aren't worried about what you are going to cook for dinner and aren't making the house hot with the stove and oven on all evening.
But what's a family to do? Grill every evening? I mean that is not a horrible option. Salads every night? I'd be OK with that but pretty sure Teddy would revolt. In walks my crock pot (yet again) to save the day! 15 minutes of prep and dinner is done - BAM - and the kitchen stays cool and you have the rest of the day to work on your playground tan lines :-)
Read MoreWell that summery weather was fun while it lasted, now back to cool, windy, springy days! Any weather under 75 makes me crave a warm meal and apparently lately that has meant Asian food.
One night I was craving, and I mean craving Chinese food. Not the kind that leaves you thirsty and puffy in the morning, I just wanted something good. So on to the interwebs I went and found some simple ideas for sweet and sour chicken.
Jackpot!
