I have talked about my husbands grocery store adventures on here before and many of my recipes come about because I sent him shopping. He likes to go grocery shopping, but he doesn’t like to follow a long list. So while, I always send a list with him, I can always count on him coming…
Indian
Crock Pot Spinach Daal
When you hear the word comfort food, you probably think of mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and chocolate chip cookies. I do too. I also think Indian food with fresh, hot naan bread. Sundays are curry day in our house. Almost every Sunday my husband throws together a curry while I read to him. We…
Coconut Cauliflower Red Lentil Soup
After a quick burst of recipes to make in the heat of summer (Portobello Pineapple Burgers and Fresh Veggie Spring Rolls), we had a few days of cold, rainy, blustery weather. When it first started to rain, I opened all the windows to cool down the house and it never really warmed back up. I’m…
Mango Lassi
I have to admit, I didn’t actually know what a mango lassi was until last summer. Never even heard of it. Then one day I went to an Indian buffet that had endless mango lassi as part of the buffet. I think that was all I ate at the buffet. Glass after glass of the…

Garlic Naan Bread
My husband and I love Indian food. We are suckers for a good Indian buffet. And can you guess my favorite part of an Indian buffet? Naan Bread! We also make Indian food at home quite often. In fact, almost every Sunday, my husband grinds his own spices and makes a delicious Indian dish. This…
Authentic India: Diced Potatoes with Turmeric and Cumin
Now, unlike the last post, this dish is much simpler and much faster. It shouldn’t take more than 15 or 20 minutes. It was really good and it can be served with most meals, Indian or not. Ingredients: 1 1/2 Lbs. new potatoes or red potatoes ( We used russets because that is all we…
