Another Chicken Makhani / “Butter Chicken” recipe for you today! Recently I made Bev’s Butter Chicken recipe in a slow cooker and loved it. However, I saw a slightly different version of the recipe on KathEats a few days ago, swooned, and again decided that I must have it! First I bloomed cumin seeds and … Continue reading
Brewed Awakenings in Saline has some awesome paninis – highly recommended. (Their salads? Not so highly recommended, because of their smallish portion size [unlike the paninis].) This is the Monterrey, “Turkey, salami, cheddar cheese, fresh tomatoes, red onions, mild peppers, green olives, and our special seasoned mayo grilled on ciabatta bread.” So good!

My parents prepared a … Continue reading

Best dinner ever! That is what I almost entitled this post. Apparently I throw this phrase around a lot, because last February, I declared that Spaghetti Pie was the “Best Dinner Ever!” Oh, well; I don’t mind frequently having the Best Dinner Ever. — Giveaway Oh, by the way – did you guys enter my … Continue reading

Oh my gosh, you guys. I need to tell you about something I ate that deserves it’s own post. This past Friday, at Sidetrack, I ordered the Chicken Pot Pie. Not just any Chicken Pot Pie.

Good news!! I got a new camera! Not-so-good news: This post is full of iPhone pics, since I didn’t have a chance to charge my camera battery prior to this meal. Oh well, I think we can deal. Wednesday night we used an anniversary gift card from MegGoesNomNom-Mom and went to Red Robin for dinner. … Continue reading
