One of the worst things about moving out of the city is the lack of food options. I no longer live near a Crest grocery store. My favorite Thai food is at least 30 minutes away. There's a lack of options when it comes to Chinese restaurants. Korean and Vietnamese restaurants are non-existent. And I… Continue reading Chana Masala Breakfast Tacos

Tandoori Salmon Salad
I've been sick as a dog these past few days. I don't know what it is; I've had a low grade fever (99) and an incredibly sore throat---and now I have a cough. Ugh. I've been pounding the vitamin C, E, and water and hoping I get over this soon, but I'm now on day… Continue reading Tandoori Salmon Salad
Indian Chicken Wraps
The search is on for different ways to make sandwiches and burgers into wraps. Who needs another boring lettuce-wrapped burger recipe? Not me. I've been finding different ways to use lettuce---and different types of lettuce to use---for the better part of a year now. I've had some hits (shredded Mexican beef wraps) and some misses… Continue reading Indian Chicken Wraps
Chicken Biryani with Cauliflower Rice
Continuing the international theme this morning... This time I'm tackling one of my favoite Indian dishes: biryani. My favorite Indian restaurant in the OKC metro is Himalayas in Moore, and their chicken biryani scores high marks in my books. They also have the best gulab jamun (fried dough balls in an absolutely sinful syrup), dal,… Continue reading Chicken Biryani with Cauliflower Rice
Tandoori Shrimp
I haven't quite mastered the art of the grill pan. A wedding gift we got last year, my grill pan has seen many an attempt at mimicking the real thing---a charcoal grill. Since I can't grill to save my life, I thought the grill pan would help out. If you're unaware, a grill pan is… Continue reading Tandoori Shrimp
Tandoori Chicken Drumsticks
The real magic in the kitchen is when you make foods from different cultures. Sometimes you can't make it exactly as authentic, but it still is a magical experience to go on. That's my thinking when I try to make Chinese, Vietnamese, and Jamaican foods. I love trying new things, and I love trying new… Continue reading Tandoori Chicken Drumsticks
Curried Chicken & Rice
Curry is one of those things that's incredibly tasty when prepared by a restaurant, but really hard to make yourself. It's like chefs really hit the sweet spot of just the right amount of spice, sweetness, and tang. I've tried to make curries many times in the past and it has never turned out just right.… Continue reading Curried Chicken & Rice
Curry Kale Chips
It has been one ill-prepared ice storm after another, here in Oklahoma. And by ill-prepared, I mean the storm itself wasn't prepared. Forecasts, meteorologists, even the National Weather Service warned everyone about impending doom...and then? Nothing. Not a speck of ice. Temperatures would hover in the low 30's, but never dip like they were supposed to. Bread,… Continue reading Curry Kale Chips
Chicken Satay Lettuce Wraps
I have a soft spot in my heart for lettuce wraps. I know, they sound gross. Nothing can compete with a regular 'ol sandwich, right? Wrong! Lettuce wraps are insanely delicious when they're prepared correctly. My favorite are these Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps which I make for lunch a lot around here: I made this new… Continue reading Chicken Satay Lettuce Wraps
Slow Cooker Curry Chicken
I love all of the smells and tastes of a good curry. Whether it is Indian curry or Thai curry, I adore them all. I'm quite partial to a good thai red curry, but I can't steer away from Indian goat curry. I've found that it is pretty difficult to interpret a curry recipe at… Continue reading Slow Cooker Curry Chicken
