Chicken Curry With Potatoes

Tina12 Comments

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 …

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?

New Scarf.  I didn’t own anything neon colored in my wardrobe, until now.  I saw this scarf on Caitlyn from Southern Pearls & Curls and it spoke to me.  Yes, I have a talking scarf.  😉  An awesome scarf can make a powerful style statement.  A neon scarf makes that powerful statement in all capital letters.  I’m looking forward to ditching my wool scarves and sporting this one. Coffee.  I’m so into Starbuck’s Skinny Vanilla Latte.  Usually I order iced coffee, so …

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 …
