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!
That coconut curry is a pretty dish and looks so healthful.
Thanks for the link-up and have a great weekend.

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/

Thanks Elita. They do look really similar. I love learning new things about other culture’s foods too.
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…
