Chicken Curry With Potatoes

I mentioned last week that I’m trying to eat more healthy and my idea of eating healthy is a kale meal.  My husband’s idea of delicious and healthy is this chicken Indian dish.  Both great options even though they are very different. To tell you the truth, initially I wasn’t excited about this recipe when I saw it in a cookbook.  (Side note, America’s Test Kitchen: The Best Simple Recipes is one of my favorite cookbooks.)  While I love Indian food, I wasn’t in the mood to eat chicken.  You know me and meat… I could pretty much do with out it.  Give …

Kale With Veggies

I’m in serious need of boot camp right now, guys! I need to go shopping for a new bathing suit and the thought of trying one on (or in my case, a lot more than one) is frightening.  Hello, winter weight gain.  It’s not a shock because I’ve kept more junk food in the house than normal and I have no self control.  (Not a great combo really.)  I’ve stopped buying ice cream and cookies so that’s a good start, right? Now let’s get something straight…  I refuse to go the route of celery and carrots for dinner. Phew, I feel …

Frozen Cosmopolitan

Who’s up for a boozy beverage to get you started on this Monday!  I know I am. This cold and snowy weather has got me reminiscing about our Turks & Caicos vacation.  Boy, I wish I was on a beach with a frozen cocktail in my hand.  Since I can’t be there I thought I’d bring the beach to me.  Well, sort of.  I’ll enjoy the drink, close my eyes, and pretend I’m at the beach. The resort we stayed at made an awesome frozen cosmopolitan.  Of course I’ve heard of cosmopolitans (hello, Sex in the City), but never in a …

Chocolate Chip Doughnuts

Today, I’m celebrating the 2nd blogiversary of Tina’s Chic Corner! Time flies by when you’re having fun.  Seriously, I have no idea how two years have gone by.  When I started this adventure I didn’t even know if I’d still be doing this gig for two weeks, let alone two years.  I wasn’t even sure about buying my domain name for more than the minimum of one year.  Here I am 316 posts later, with many new friends, learning a lot about food, photography, social media, and myself and I renewed my domain name for another four years.  I guess I …

Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino

It’s frappuccino Friday… But really every day should be frappuccino day! I adore chocolate and that’s nothing new if you’ve been to my blog before.  We have a container of York snack size patties in the kitchen and I literally eat one every day.  Don’t judge me.  As far as chocolates go, they’re actually not that bad for you (assuming you only have one). I also love anything to do with coffee and I drink at least one cup every day.  Of course I had to combine my two loves into this one gorgeous beverage! It’s so thick and luscious.  It’s almost …
