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.

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 pantry, for good reason. 

a little spicy, a little sweet, a little nutty, a little coconutty, a lot good

this one is a definite do-try recipe.  i got it from my friend, jen, who has a fabulous cooking blog of her own.  i've changed her recipe around just a smidgen to fit my tastes.  if you love thai food (which i do), if you love spicy, sweet, nuts, coconuts, than you will love this.  it's nice to find a massaman that compares to my favorite at bangkok grill in orem, ut.  move over cafe rio--when i visit utah, i visit bangkok grill (and el azteca for their to.die.for tamales).  but now i can make it from the comforts of my kansas city home.  thanks, jen.  (she also has a tamale recipe on her blog which i MUST try.  who knows--maybe i won't need el azteca any more!) Massaman Curry  1/4 onion, cut into pieces 1/2 lb chicken breast, sliced thinly  (i used about 5 chicken tenders.) 3 Tbsp unsalted cashews 8 small yukon gold potatoes, peeled, scored and cut into chunks (scoring is the best word to describe it--drag a fork down the length of it.  it's the way bangkok grill

sorry i've been m.i.a. for a while.  i haven't really been m.i.a.  i just moved across the country in the middle of the first trimester of my third pregnancy and i've been a little wonky the past few months.  (ask my husband)  while in the throngs of packing up our house full of junk, er... things, i just couldn't keep up with all my responsibilities, so the blog had to go...temporarily.  plus, i mean really, along with all the yucks of those first few months like feeling like your stomach is turning inside out and you can barely keep control of your balance and you don't even want to think about food, i had a strange aversion to all things cyberspace.  even the thought of facebook or checking my email or this blog sent me into a spin of nausea.  strange, i know.  i can't really explain it.  i do have a friend who said when she was pregnant she had a strange aversion to certain people.  anytime she saw someone in particular, it would make her si
