Curry Stand Chicken Tikka Masala is very tasty. Here is the original recipe. I have tried many different variations and I love this one the best. Mine is a healthier, vegetarian version of the original recipe, knocking out the butter, cream and chicken. I don't taste a huge flavor difference in the healthier version. The … Continue reading Easy Tikka Masala

Eat Anything You Want…
My husband has a grumble with CRUMBLE, the "homemade cookie" takeout. Every time we drive by their store he says, "I don't get it! They aren't even that good!"

Is it Sick to Love A Loaf?

I was at the Provo July 4th parade a month ago, sitting in the cool morning air waiting for the parade to start. My nephew, Davey, arrived with 4 of his little boys, and was carrying water bottles and chairs and trying to keep track of everybody. His wife Tracy had just had their 5th … Continue reading What’s Your Go-To?
