Menu: Back to Friday

June 17, 2011November 28, 2018Leave a comment

I guess I’m going back to Friday menus for this week. I also have a few new recipes up my sleeve this week! Because we waited SO LONG to go shopping that our fridge contains:
1 onion
1/2 tub sour cream
1 open jar red curry
1 open tube of tomato paste
3 sticks butter
and of course
1 stick of lemongrass (been there for a while…)

Our freezer is a little heartier:
3lbs chicken breasts
2 lbs shrimp
1/2 lb spinach
1 baggie of fennel (chopped)
3 baggies of herbs (basil/parsley/cilantro)

So in all not that much food going to happen from there even though with those meats I could squeeze a few extra meaty meals from it.

On to the menu: Continue reading →

Recipe: Basic Cinnamon Rolls

I love cinnamon rolls plain but you can frost these babies too. I used a basic butter butter cream but you can frost with cream cheese if you’re feeling that instead. This is a great recipe which actually takes about 15 active minutes of doing anything, it’s a lot of waiting but of course when you come out with soft, gooey cinnamon rolls it’s worth the wait!

This recipe requires very little effort aside from some chopping which can pretty much be done at the same time. Very delicious too, we ate half for dinner and then half for lunch the next day.

This is my first new recipe since January which is nice and embarrassing on my part but at least I got off the ground right? This soup is an interesting twist on an old favorite. It’s hearty and warm. Pictures are thanks to my new phone which is also a camera making it easier to share images quickly!

These are really simple and delicious meatballs good on top of pasta or just by themselves. You don’t need a mini muffin pan but it really helps!

Recipe: Chicken Tikka Masala

There’s a bit of rumor and mystery that surround Chicken Tikka Masala. Where it started isn’t quite certain but it’s wildly regarded as delicious! Probably a food born from export back to England from India this unique dish can be enjoyed by people who like the taste of savory curry without heat. There are dozens of versions of it but this one is one that very much suits my tastes.
