Low Carb Indian Chicken Korma with Rotisserie Chicken (or Leftover Turkey)

November 19, 2018 by Faith 1 Comment

With this Low Carb Indian Chicken Korma with Rotisserie Chicken (or Leftover Turkey) you’ll be surprised that you can serve up such a flavorful curry on a weeknight!

The first Indian dish I tried was Chicken Tikka Masala. That and Butter Chicken are everyone’s favorites, right? Of course I instantly fell in love. For at least the next 10 times that I went to Indian restaurants I would order one of those two dishes, but after a while I finally got adventurous enough to branch out. I discovered that there’s so much more to enjoy!…

Weeknight Cheesy Beef Skillet Chili is great for those nights when dinner has to be on the table quick! With Labor Day over, kiddos are back to school and the weather is finally cooling off; and also, chili season is here in full force! Chili is one of those staple fall and winter meals in my house that gets made probably once a month or so because it’s so easy to whip up and always goes over well at dinner....

Here are 10 Paleo-Friendly Family Dinner Ideas for those of you who are reducing gluten and dairy or just trying to eat low(er)-carb! So many people are finding out that they have gluten or dairy sensitivities these days. Personally, I don’t have any dietary sensitivities, but I definitely feel my best when I at least restrict these foods (especially foods with gluten.).

20-Minute Thai-Inspired Summer Vegetable Curry with Seared Salmon

July 27, 2015 by Faith 8 Comments

This 20-Minute Thai-Inspired Summer Vegetable Curry with Seared Salmon makes the perfect weeknight summer meal. It’s amazing how much technique effects the final outcome when you’re cooking. The mere thought of green beans made me gag as a kid until I had them for dinner at a friend’s house and realized they aren’t inherently mush. (Sorry, Mom…you were notorious for overcooking the beans!) I disliked fried eggs until I learned how to cook them so that the whites are set and the yolks are runny. (The only thing worse than chalky overcooked egg yolk is icky undercooked egg white goop…ugh.) And I thought I hated fish […]...

It’s not every day you see two nine-year-old kids inhale a meal full of veggies and then opt for a second helping instead of dessert (which was chocolate cake), but that’s exactly what my niece and her friend did last weekend. Any meal that has that kind of power is just plain magic....
