Let’s crank up the colors in your kitchen a nudge. Another one of my ‘standard repertoire‘ recipes is a simple chicken & vegetable curry. But unlike my Creamy Chicken Casserole, I serve this one often. It’s fast, flavorful, healthy and colorful, which (believe it or not) is a big plus for me. I just really take to colorful food. Don’t mind me, it’s just another one of my many abnormalities….
This recipe sprouted from my mind not too long ago – when I needed a quick side dish to go with a pepper steak I was about to serve a few hours later. What do you mean last minute?

These are both brilliant, but just too heavy for a snack. My recipe is derived from these…
Somehow this always seems to happen to me when the pantry is utterly empty and the stores are closed. Sweet cravings. Those cravings are few and far between for me -I don’t really have a sweet tooth, thank God- but when they do strike, oh boy, they strike with a vengeance. They’re so relentless I’ll often find myself eating half the dough even before I’ve baked the cookies. Sadly enough…
