I’ve never really been a big fan of chicken curry. But when I spent some time in England and had it in an authentic Indian restaurant, my opinion changed. Thick, creamy, and full of rich flavors, the chicken just melts in your mouth. It’s so tender! This is a really easy chicken curry recipe anyone can make. All you need is an Instant Pot or a pressure cooker. I never thought I’d be able to replicate restaurant worthy authentic food at home but with this coconut curry, that’s exactly what you’re going to get!...

On Saturday and Sunday mornings you can catch me watching cooking shows on Food Network. It’s fun to test and try out new recipes from different Food Network chefs. I’ll also share the recipe on this blog with you guys if I think it’s worthy! Like this recipe for Knock You Naked Brownies from Ree Drummond. If the title of these brownies bothers you, I’m sorry. I saw Ree make them on her show a couple of days ago, and thought that they’d be perfect to make for Valentine’s Day....

Yet another Martha Stewart recipe, from Everyday Food! We had this with rice, and I added a twist: mangoes! I tried this salsa with some chips and it was excellent. Mangoes and avocados are so good together. I’m beginning to think any type of fruit is good in salsa, and have many different combinations of what I could do running through my head right now. Bananas, blueberries, and red onions?...

S’More Graham Krispie Treats are made with Golden Graham Cereal instead of your typical Rice Krispie Cereal. Golden Graham cereal really does a good job at mimicking the Graham Crackers that are typically found in s’mores. Do NOT skip on this part. Then chocolate gets melted into the marshmallows to make an easy no-bake cereal bar. You don’t have to start any campfires for this either! Instead of heating up your stove top you can melt the butter and marshmallows in a microwave....

I found a biscuit recipe on Weight Watchers site and wondered why it was so low in points. 1 biscuit was only 3 points. The canned biscuits I believe are 5 points a piece (and that’s only for low fat ones) The reason why these were only 3 points was because the recipe only called for 2 tablespoons of butter versus a regular biscuit recipe that calls for a stick and a half of butter sometimes....
