I’ve recently gone back to school and that means my time in the kitchen has just disappeared. No more hours of food prep, no more playing with recipe after recipe after recipe. I have had to find creative ways to cook food that is quick, easy, healthy, and most importantly, delicious! Here comes my pressure…
Curried Carrot Soup with Ginger
This Curried Carrot Soup with Ginger recipe is an ode to the Office Potluck where we share the best recipes given to us by co-workers after a particularly good lunch. You know, those dishes that warrant emails asking for the recipe because it was so good and then printing and saving those recipes in your…
Yellow Split Pea Curry
Call me weird, but sometimes on the rare occasion I get to go to the market child free, I like to hang out in the bulk aisle and peruse the ingredients I’ve never used before. More often than not, I end up coming home with a bag of some new (to me) grain or legume…
Crock Pot Curry Chicken with a Coconut Twist
When I tried curry for the first time, it was of the green variety — it was also homemade by a graduate school friend of Indian heritage from the Caribbean. It was amazing, and I’ve been super picky about curry ever since. You can’t blame me, really! Restaurant curry isn’t my favorite; it’s usually Americanized…
Tim’s Grilled Curried Chicken Salad
You know those friends who only eat ethnic food? Israeli, Indian, Thai … the ones you secretly roll your eyes at? We’re not those friends. We love food, but we usually stick to the more familiar flavors of Mexico, Italy, Germany, and Asia; that’s why this curried chicken salad is a nice surprise. If you’re…
Spicy {Slow Cooker} Sweet Potato and Chicken Stew
After a surprisingly dry and hot summer here in Northwest Washington, today the skies opened up and we had a downpour that was insane. The kids stripped down and ran out in the backyard and I could see the plants stretching up toward the moisture. Our driveway turned into a lake. For about thirty minutes…
Curried Chicken Salad with Almonds
When I was 20 years old, I wrangled my first office job. Previously, I’d been mall-ratting it at an espresso stand (mostly called expresso back in those days). The new job was in one of the largest buildings in my hometown (5 stories) and I was answering phones for a bunch of offices in said…
Curry Yogurt Grilled Chicken
Because you can really never have too many chicken recipes (am I right?), today, I present to you my new favorite chicken recipe. YES, I SAID FAVORITE. Now, it’s a fact that I can be rather dramatic about food, but for right now, this very minute, this Curry Yogurt Grilled Chicken is my very favorite…
Lighter Chicken Tikka Masala
This lighter Chicken Tikka Masala was born in my kitchen from inspiration from a recent trip when spent a week in New York City. My taste buds are still standing at attention from that trip and all of the wonderful flavors I encountered. I am a lover of all food – Italian, Thai, Cajun, Japanese, Chinese,…
Mango Curry Quinoa
I was in Whole Foods drooling my way through the deli section recently and couldn’t resist when I noticed a container of mango quinoa. I brought it home and was SO excited to try it – I didn’t even get the groceries put away first. And then it was meh. I was so disappointed! So…
