Trader Joe’s Thai Yellow Curry
I recently discovered Trader Joe’s bottled Thai yellow curry sauce. It’s really good and comforting. It’s definitely not YaYa’s curry. It tastes a bit more like Japanese curry. But it’s damn good. I made it traditional style with chicken and potatoes (I didn’t have bamboo shoots). Basically, I put 1 and a half chicken breast,…

Baked Chicken Alfredo Ziti
The husband loved this dish. I think mostly because it was made of leftovers but totally remade. We had some ziti that was cooked for meat sauce and we had the beer can chicken leftovers. Luckily, we had milk, Parmesan, chicken broth, garlic and some mozzarella too. I cooked 2 cloves of minced garlic with…

Braise Collards
I am a big fan of greens but I understand that some are not. I know one gentleman in particular who is not keen on choosing greens but when it arrives mysteriously on his plate, he’ll eventually take a bite. That’s how I got him to eat these collards and now he’s a big fan.…

Gluten-free Breakfast
I think the worst thing about trying to be gluten-free is breakfast options. I was a pastry every day girl. Now? Well, now it takes a bit more effort. But in truth, it’s delicious. Like cold cuts, pickles and hard boiled eggs. Or yogurt with granola and chocolate sprinkles. But this has to be my…
