My Recipe This Week
I’m back with a recipe this week. I’m sharing this pretty Coconut Curry. This is a fantastic dish because I use whole spices instead of mixed powders. Even for the curry spice, I use curry leaves. My friend Maria who many years ago taught me how to blend spices showed me how to make this and on the days I do skimp out and do a curry the easy-peasy way I miss these delicious flavours that are so unique to this recipe. Check it out and see for yourself.

Shout Outs
I could not resist trying Trina of the Beans Tomato Baked Eggs. I cooked them a little differently, but the end result couldn’t have been much different. I almost wanted to blog the recipe myself but luckily I was in a cooking mood this week and made myself three weeks worth of blog posts! This is definitely my new favorite way to make eggs though. The flavours were Amazing!

Hi! I hope I didn’t break the rules with my breaded noodle recipe- I use a non vegetarian fat to saute the onions and such, but you can use any oil really. If it offends you or other vegetarians to read that I used rendered chicken fat in my recipe (the recipe just says “fat” and I specified in parenthesis what type I prefer to use), feel free to remove this listing.

You’re forgiven
I like recipes to say that a person has the option, but really, we’re all adults here so I think us vegetarians can figure out that we can replace fat with oil. Thanks for saying something though. It’s appreciated!

That tomato dish looks yummy and is a nice play on an Israeli dish called Shakshuka, which you might also like. http://smittenkitchen.com/2010/04/shakshuka/

Hey Mel baby! Happy friday! My hand is feeling much better, so trying to link up a few posts from the past two weeks and I knew you would love this savory sweet potato dish and using the left overs in crepes! My sister in law wrote this lovely article for me. I love her and isn’t my niece a cutie? HUgs! Alex

I am a new fan of MorningStar Farms Original Vegetarian Sausage Patties! Vegetarian sausage is a healthy choice and Morningstar Farms hits the mark. I am not a vegetarian so it took a little effort…
