Deconstructed Curry Chicken Salad + Roasted Grapes

April 17, 2017 by funnyloveblog Leave a Comment

Jay’s idea! As all the good ones are, he’ll tell you.

I don’t know exactly where this idea came from, but it continues my excessive use of yellow curry this year, which I’m 1,000% ok with. I can’t stop finding new favorite uses for it. This salad is SO good, super filling but without the heavy feel of a chicken salad with a mayo base, love those though I do. INSTEAD we have my new fav way to cook chicken. Thighs, crisped in a pan. Then we shred the meat and cook it again in the same pan so we end up with tons of crispy edges. There is butter involved but it’s skinless chicken so balance, you know?

Besides your new favorite chicken we have black pepper roasted grapes, spiced pecans, and a super simple + flavorful creamy dressing with only a teensy bit of mayo.

Honestly, there are a few components in the dish and it does take some time. BUT, if you roast the nuts and the grapes at the same time while you make the dressing and chicken this salad can be ready in way under and hour. You can also make everything but the chicken in advance and toss it all together for dinner.

No excuses!

Samosa Pie

November 30, 2015 by funnyloveblog Leave a Comment

OK YES. Just yes.

This is yet another of Jay’s brilliant ideas for winter – a vegetarian version of a pot pie, basically, but with Indian flavors that mimic a samosa, the street pastry that sometimes comes as an appetizer at Indian meals. 303

So basically it’s pie crust wrapped around a super thick curry and the vegetables make it a health food.

I LOVE this because 1. it’s vegetarian but 2. it’s super comforting and warming and hearty just like a meat dish would be, and I feel like this time of year a lot of the comfort foods we’re presented with are meat-filled. NOW, this is great for me because I love meat, but my other half doesn’t like dead carcass so we need lots more cozy hearty dishes to fill our carb longings this time of year whether or not meat is involved.

So that’s exactly what we did.

Curry Coconut Potato Soup {vegan}

October 15, 2015 by funnyloveblog 1 Comment

Well, well, well.

Quite possibly one of the best new things I’ve mad this year, and Jay’s new favorite for sure.

The story is this: Jay went vegetarian last year, then decided to eat meat again, then stopped eating meat again. Then the very day he stopped eating meat again he broke his leg, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t the tiniest bit annoyed. No problem kid, let me hold your bottle of pee 10 times a day and also make special meals for you.

But obviously I did it and lived to tell the tale and I made an excellent nurse and short-order cook, if I do say so myself.

So ALSO in that time Jay realized that if he just laid around all day and didn’t feel like eating because of pain medication he’d lose weight, which is true, but also maybe not the healthiest way to go about such things, so don’t think that this is a weight loss advice article. But, Jay did lose some weight over the summer and went back to being a mostly-vegetarian and has really tried hard to stay healthy and eat yummy foods in the process.

And I, now that I’m not carrying around bottles of pee anymore, have tried to make some fun new recipes that taste decadent but that are good for you and easy to make.

That was a really long explanation to tell you this: I made a creamy soup without cream and it tastes like curry and is cozy but not too heavy and you’ll love it. Let’s get to it.

Crock Pot Tomato Chicken Tikka

August 28, 2014 by funnyloveblog Leave a Comment

I know, I know.

We’re done with the curries over here. I’ve made approximately ten thousand versions of curry, from all countries, mainly because I LOVE IT SO FREAKING MUCH.

And it’s my blog, so there.

This version, though, is really incredible. It uses the fake-out storebought curry paste that I showed you in my very first curry recipe, and besides cutting up some onion and garlic you dump some shit into a slow cooker and move on with your life, only to return to very sexy curry.

Not working very hard for flavorful food is incredibly sexy, incidentally.

Curried Gnocchi with Roasted Vegetables {vegan}

January 9, 2014 by funnyloveblog Leave a Comment

…aaaaaand we’re back.

From Hawaii, from our honeymoon, to reality…you get the gist.

Don’t worry, I still have 9,387 things to tell you about Kauai, so we can keep living through it together even though it’s cold and gray here, ok?

Ok.

I’m not intentionally giving you 1,000 vegan recipes at a time, it’s just happening! I’ll make us some beef soon, ok? Great. Today, though, gnocchi! With curry sauce! And vegetables! As per the usual, this is a complete cinch, since the oven really does most of the work in roasting the vegetables. We use coconut milk to make a super creamy sauce, though, so you won’t even miss dairy and other animal products.

Let’s make it!
