20 Minute Chickpea Curry

Tonight I’m trying out a new recipe from lecremedelacrumb.com.  20 minute Chickpea Curry.  So far it’s true to it’s name.  You just have to remember that when serving it over rice it may take a little longer.  Thankfully, I now have a rice cooker so as soon as I remembered that I needed rice with tonights dinner, I put it on.  🙂   The only prep for this meal is dicing the onion, slicing the pepper, mincing the garlic and opening a few cans.  The veggies sauté nicely and then you add in the coconut milk and the rest of the ingredients.  It’s simmering on my stove right now waiting for my husband to get home so we can eat.  It smells really good and the tasting I’ve done so far gets me hopeful that I both made it right and that it tastes good.  And there’s rice, so at least the kids will eat something.

No photo, sorry.  It doesn’t look very appealing just sitting on my stove.  Check out the original website, those pictures are gorgeous!

 

Salad spinners and juicers!

In order to keep with the healthy living goal and eating more vegetables, salads, juices etc, we’ve made a few recent purchases.  Today was/is delivery day!  When I arrived home from a morning playdate at the beach, (yes, we went to the beach in March) I had my salad keeper, salad spinner and salad knife waiting for me!  🙂  Very exciting, so of course I had to have a salad for lunch.

Nothing to exciting, some baby spring lettuce mix, shredded carrots and ginger sesame dressing.  But… it did the trick and I think I can make it until supper.

I keep checking the tracking for our juicer, but it hasn’t updated since this morning.  Probably ok since I don’t have much in the fridge to juice right now.  Spending the afternoon researching different recipe’s so I can buy some ingredients at the store tonight.

Can’t wait!
