Gout Lovers Veggie Coconut Curry

2 Tbsp olive oil (or canola oil depending on your tastes)
3-4 Tbsp yellow curry
1/2 medium onion
1 large clove garlic
1/2 red bell pepper
3-4 large carrots diced
2 russet potatoes diced
1 can coconut milk
1/4 to 1/2 can chicken broth
1/4 cup water (add water to empty can of coconut milk to make sure you get every smidge of the yummy coconut flavor!)
2-3 Tbsp cilantro

Add oil to pan and heat. Add curry seasoning to hot oil and allow to bubble until fragrant and nutty. Add onion and pepper and saute for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic, carrots and potatoes and mix well in spices and saute for a minute or so. Add coconut milk, broth and water. Bring to boil, then reduce to low simmer and allow to cook for approx. 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Right before serving, if desired, sprinkle a few glugs of Worcestershire sauce on curry to intensify and sweeten flavor. Add salt to taste. (the potatoes really seem to pull all the salt out of the sauce, so be generous with the last addition of salt.) Serve with cal rose or jasmine rice and another sprinkling of cilantro if desired. And enjoy the sweet smell of curry filling your home for the next few days!! Also feel free to substitute or add any other veggies to this dish...Cauliflower, broccoli, shelled edamame, just to name a few.

sunday slow cooker: red beans and rice

in honor of mardi gras this year i made red beans and rice from scratch.  i am grateful to say that 6 years of my life took place in new orleans, la.  well, actually it was 5 years and 1 month + 11 months while we were displaced because of hurricane katrina, but we won't talk about that.  and during those 11 months in utah my heart was still in new orleans.  in case you're not familiar with new orleans, their claim to fame is FOOD.  and no ordinary food will do, no no no.  it must be GREAT FOOD.  and believe me, we had GREAT FOOD while we lived there.  and lots of it.   one of our favorite dishes was red beans and rice.  now that we don't live in new orleans, it's not as convenient to just run to the store and buy a can of already prepared Blue Runner beans.  so, i decided to come up with a recipe all on my own that used the slow cooker (it was sunday dinner and now with 1 o'clock church i'm using my slow cooke...

heart cookies

got this recipe from martha for valentine's day.  it is a mix between an oatmeal cookie and a shortbread cookie and oh so yummy.  i'll be taking these to a preschool party and around to some of my friends tomorrow.  they are reminiscent of graham crackers and chocolate frosting, which my husband and kids love, so i'm hoping they enjoy these.  the dough turned out be a bit different than the recipe claims, but i made it work.  i've changed the recipe only slightly-i dipped the hearts in melted chocolate chips rather than sandwiching nutella between two cookies.   one great tip on melting chocolate is do it in the microwave!  it's so easy and you don't have to worry about a double-boiler and all that clean up.  ina garten, the barefoot contessa and one of my cooking idols, gives a great explanation on how to do it here .  i'm sure the nutella way would be good, too.  it's just not something i regularly have in my pan...

white chicken chili

this is the chili of winners.  my friend made this last year for a halloween chili cook off and won the "most-unique" prize.  to me that means, "better-than-your-average-beef-and-bean chili" award.  it really is.  the original recipe comes from cha cha .  "who's cha cha" you ask? who knows.  but she's come up with a mighty fine white chicken chili recipe.  be sure to bake up some cornbread and serve it with the chili.  (i finally found my favorite cornbread recipe the other day and must share on another post!) i have posted my version of the recipe, with only a few adjustments to the spiciness.  happy chili cookin'! 1 Tbsp vegetable oil 1 onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1 tsp fresh jalapeno, finely chopped 1 (4 oz) can chopped green chile peppers 2 tsp ground cumin ...
