Food What's For Dinner Tonight?

Basil Chicken in Coconut Curry Sauce. Last night.

I'm attempting to post a link to the recipe at the Better Homes & Gardens website, but my computer has started slowing way down and/or freezing when faced with long running scripts. Navigating eBay is now a major PITA.

Anyway, the dish & recipe. We're going to tweak it with extra curry powder, add some garam masalla, increase the red onion by 50% (already done, misread the recipe), and figure out an additional fresh veggie that would work with the spices (maybe something a bit 'sweet' such as carrot &/or red bell pepper).

Aha! Finally.........
Basil Chicken in Coconut-Curry Sauce

 

I have some coconut curry simmer sauce, a bunch o'veggies, and a few chicken breasts.
I think I'm going to make some chicken and veg curry tonight after I get back from the "beach".
My brain is too fried to cook creatively.

 

I made a pasta salad with tomatoes, cucumber, olives, leftover grilled chicken and Italian dressing. I had some fresh pineapple on the side. It was awesome.

 

Last night was a traditional (at least in the past) British meal.

A few nights ago my wife made two steak & kidney pies. Ruff puff pastry made from scratch. There's really no point in going through that much effort to make just one pie.
Oven roasted potatoes. Olive oil (it makes a huge difference in the flavor over regular cooking oils) & onion soups mix. Chips (fries) would've been more traditional, but we had leftover ORPs and needed to make room in the fridge.
Peas. Boiled.

 

Tonight will be chile verde served over rice and a salad.

 

Two low FODMAP banana-coconut cookies, one paleo dark chocolate chip cookie, 3.5 ounces of Applegate deli turkey, and a Hotter than Helles Lager from Cigar City.

 

Applegate deli ham, organic yellow mustard, and pickles... Rolled up. And some of the mix when I was making skinny monkey Popsicles.

 

Can I get a visual on the curry paste y'all use? I'm having a difficult time tracking it down I'm Kroger. Maybe you can't get it here?

 

Admittedly, for some reason I was looking for a tube or a box. I'll try again now that I have visuals! Thanks @snowy

 

I also use the Thai kitchen curry paste and Kroger here carries them. I prefer the green and red.

 

I'll find it next time!!

Tonight was a grilled chicken breast and steamed spinach drizzled with olive oil. Simple, but good.

 

Deli ham roll up with pickles and mustard. and a skinny monkey popsicle.

 

I thought I was the only lazy bastard that did that.

/no idea what that last part is

 

Nope, it's my lazy intern dinner. Plus, I don't eat bread or grains, so... ham it is.

Skinny Monkey Popsicles
Take 3 ripe bananas, slice and freeze 30 m.
Chop 2 squares of 80-85% cacao chocolate finely, 2-3 T unsweetened coconut, and 9 or 10 walnut halves.
Blend the frozen bananas, stir in the chocolate, coconut, and nuts.
Put into popsicle molds and freeze for at least an hour before eating.
More solid 3 hours out.

I based them off the Chunky Monkey ice creams. Made up the recipe. I'm addicted.
