OK, I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is this dish is creamy, rich  coconut flavored, fish curry! So yummy! It is unique because not only do you get to eat deliciously fried crisp fish but you also get to enjoy the creamy curried...

I love soup.  I could eat soup for every meal.  Soup is incredibly easy to make and you can use whatever you have around to make something wholesome, filling, and nutritious.  This tortilla soup is just like that, it takes minimal effort and the reward is great.  This not a traditional tortilla soup by...

I served this recipe at a holiday gathering a few weeks ago and it was a big hit. I can honestly say the photo does not do it justice! It’s a non-traditional twist on a typical chili recipe since it’s made with white beans and chicken and has a lot of spice to it....

Last weekend I had a yard sale to help raise some money that would hopefully tide me over until I get my second paycheck from my new job (I can't count with the first one, as it belongs to my landlord.  *le sigh*  It'll be fun looking at it, thou...

When the weather starts to get cold, all I want to eat is slow cooked and hearty meals.  This chili recipe is one of my favorites.  I watched Nigella Lawson make it on the Today show years ago and it has been my go-to chili recipe ever since.  While the title may alarm you,...
