Hello Readers (if there are even any of you left)! I know I’ve been neglecting my blog lately and it’s been weeks since I last posted. I really do miss it here! I have several recipes brewing, I just have to find the time to post them. Maybe, I would have the time, if I wasn’t in bed by 8:30! Yes, 8:30. What can I say, I love to sleep… And I need it now, more than ever.
Regardless of how busy life gets around here, cooking healthy meals is a priority for us. Here is a delicious and easy curry recipe – made from scratch! This type of dish would usually be served over rice. I used yams in this recipe to make the dish more hearty since we were skipping the rice. To speed up this recipe, I used a rotisserie chicken from Whole Foods. You can always just saute chicken pieces in coconut oil, until cooked through. This is one of those recipes that tastes even better the next day!
