Things keep progressing with the house. We have a few rooms now organized and completed. I will be moving my stuff soon. Hopefully by next weekend. It will be nice to finally live there. I like my old house, but the new one is set up much better. This week I am deleting a bottle [...]

Harissa Chicken and Apricot Pilaf
Our family and friends are becoming a bit impatient for us to move. Kind of like little kids on a road trip. Are we there yet? Are we there yet? I've already started moving stuff. The big move won't happen until we have all of our projects done. I know I said this last time, [...]
Chicken and Wild Rice with Butternut Squash
The house is almost clean. We are so ready to move in. It just seems like there is one more thing to do. While that is annoying, I'd rather have it done before we start moving furniture. When we do move, it will be slow. We have a lot of stuff, but only the two [...]
Wine-Braised Chicken with Pearl Onions
Now that I have some wine left over from the last recipe, I wanted to put it to good use. I am also busy this week with laying floors and needed something simple to make. The floors are coming along slowly but surely. We will soon have only one room left to do, and that [...]
Paradise Fried Rice
I really don't have time to cook this week. With a conference I have to travel to coming up and working on the house, it's just too busy. So I opted for a recipe that could be put together in a flash. Fried rice is one of those dishes that is easy to make and [...]
Lower Carb Muffin Tin Tamale Cakes
I love tamales. However, there is a reason that they are made during the holidays. They take a bit of time to make. That's why when I go out to a Mexican restaurant, I order them most of the time. Because I love them so much, I am always looking for an easier way to [...]
Lentil Soup with Lemon, Turmeric and Chicken
Boy, laying floor was killer. Managed to smash my pinky with a hammer. Luckily, it's not broken. It looks pretty nasty, though. I haven't finished the flooring yet, so I will be working another couple of days. In the meantime, I have to make dinner. I chose something simple this week with my favorite ingredient, [...]
A Quick Rice Dish from Trinidad
This week has been off the charts busy. I don't have a lot of time to cook. I'm back working on my house. This week it's fixing floors. Last week's dish was wonderful, but it took a while to make. Look no further than Eating Well for a recipe for Trinidadian Pelau with Chicken to [...]
Sri Lankan Beet and Chicken Curry
Can you believe it? I still have beets to use up. Going through this journey of beet recipes, I am very surprised at what a beet can be used in. This recipe I am modifying is a Sri Lanken Beetroot Curry from the Flavor Blender. Who would have thought of using a beet in a [...]
Beet, Ginger, Chicken and Coconut Milk Soup
Tony is going to stay on the soup thing for a while. I have some more beets to use up. He tried to go back on the beet juice kick when he wasn't able to eat anything solid. It wasn't pretty. So, this recipe is more about being creative with the ingredients I have on [...]
