I’ve had my eye on this recipe for about a year and finally made it this past weekend. We had a little get together with family and I thought it was the perfect snack, considering my family is obsessed with spicy food.

The dip was a hit and I will definitely be making it for parties in the future. It makes a really big batch because a little goes a long way and I thought the leftover feta would be great crumbled over a salad, or used in a cold chickpea/lentil salad with some fresh veggies and herbs.

Mikey and I are headed up to northern WI this weekend for some snowmobiling, R&R and massive food consumption! We also want to avoid Chicago as this “snow storm” approaches (It will probably bring less than an inch of snow). Have a great weekend and stay bundled!

I made this shrimp last weekend and it is the most warming and perfect stew for a cold night. It smells incredible and will surely warm your soul! I thought since Mardi Gras was this past weekend I would share a recipe with some southern flare.

It is very easy to make and you could easily add different meats or vegetables depending on your preference.

It was getting dark so I wasn’t able to take many pictures/they are not the best quality. Don’t let that stop you from trying this recipe!

Looks like my new years resolution should have been to spend more time baking and cooking for my blog!

Sorry I haven’t posted for so long! January and February are turning out to be just as (if not more) busy than the holidays! Yikes.

The recipe I have for you today is one of our favorite lazy day indulgences. It is rich and creamy with a big kick of heat that is great for cold days!

Tikka Masala can be made with many different spices and meats, but chicken is our favorite. You can add more or less of any of the spices depending on what you like!

I hope you have avoided or recovered from the terrible flu that seems to have attacked everyone in the nation! Keep those new years resolutions going strong!

Comfort can be found in a roasting pan.

Add a few vegetables, some herbs and some meat and you’re well on your way to a delicious meal.

It is warm, colorful and full of healthy veggies!

You can substitute any of the vegetables, herbs or meat depending on what you have on hand/are in the mood for.  Chicken would be amazing.  So would red onion, shallots, pears and potatoes.  Be adventurous.  It’s hard to mess this dish up.  Throw it all together in a pan and roast for about and hour.  Your home will be filled with an amazing aroma and I promise this meal will fill you with comfort!
