Happy Tuesday! What is everyone up to today? I have to work at the pharmacy today and then catch up on studying for the rest of the night when I get home. The other night I was experimenting with a new homemade Thai red curry recipe and it came out really flavorful and delicious. The only thing about curry recipes is that the ingredient list is always never-ending! Hopefully you have everything in your cupboard already, but if not write some of the ingredients you don’t have down on your shopping list for next week. This red curry is made with chicken and vegetables like red bell pepper, carrots and peas. There is something so comforting about a warm meal at the end of the day. I LOVE Indian food. My doctor told me I am not supposed to eat it because it can cause eczema flare ups, but I can’t cut it out of my life completely. I guess its the same with people who are lactose intolerant and being told they can’t eat ice cream anymore…ummmm ya ok! Does anyone have a recipe for homemade Naan bread?? That is on my to-make list in the very near future, because Naan bread is also one of my favorite sides. Have a great week friends! XoXo
