Jeff and I were sitting around at lunch time on Saturday and suddenly had a hankering for curry. I found out how easy it was to make the week before when I made shrimp curry for the first time. Basically all you need is curry paste, coconut milk, and a little chicken broth. Easy peasy. I had some chicken thighs that needed to be used, so I got to work.…
I’m over at Van’s Natural Foods again today with a spin on the traditional egg-in-a-frame breakfast. Go take a look!

One of my favorite things to do with fresh summer veggies is to chop them up and throw them together for a simple marinated salad. Drizzle a little olive oil and vinegar on top, stir in a shake of salt and pepper, and marinate until dinner. Fresh, simple, beautiful. The marinated salad.
