I love Indian food. Most of all ~ Indian Butter Chicken. I will be honest though, this is one of those recipes where I've always shied away from making. I think it is because I have convinced myself that I will never be able to make it authentically like the way they do in the restaurants. And certainly not as tasty. Know what? I am happy to say that I was wrong. They only thing that kept me from tasting this AMAZING recipe is my own self doubt. Know what I mean? Having Indian Butter Chicken without naan bread is kind of like having grilled cheese without the cheddar. It doesn't work. And I

It's gonna be one of those nights. The kind of night when every recipe under the sun rattles through your brain but you know that you feel like making not one of them. No way. Fatigue strikes in. Kids are screaming that they are hungry and they won't make it past the 5 minute prep time. The dog needs to go for a walk and someone just needs to spend 40 minutes on the phone telling you about all the wrong in the world and you don't want to be rude but - like I said, it is one of those nights. Reality sinks in and it becomes mac and cheese for the younglings, open the back room door to let the

If there is one thing that I would LOVE to say about this Creamy Chicken Sweet Potato Noodles recipe is that it is 100% healthy eating. It sure looks like it and the ingredients could call for more health but truth be told, I went a little bit heavy on two ingredients. Butter (and lots of it) and heavy cream. It gives this recipe a more rich and full flavor. Of course, the wine, mushrooms, garlic et all seriously helps too. I could use a little bit of that right about now. Creamy Chicken Sweet Potato Noodles I am single parenting this week. Well, ok, it is just for two nights. Tam

Call me a meat and potatoes kind of guy and I will say that at least for today, you are absolutely right. I won't lie. The spinach and cheese blend in the beef seared at high heat brings forth a delicious taste that, along with a perfect wine, is simply scrumptious. If you are prone to cringe at making such a feast, fear not. This Steak a la Florentine is really simple. All you really have to concern yourself with is two basic principles for this dish. You must, must turn your heating element on to maximum heat. Got gas, crank it up. Electric? No problem. Put it on high. And leave it

Hotdish or casserole? Is there really a difference... it's like saying slow cooker or crockpot. There may be some who would make a really big deal out of these two. But me? I just love this recipe cause it is crazy good, easy to make and my fussy eater daughter LOVES it! So, when RZ member Dissie cooked up this recipe on our site, she chose to use the term "hotdish" instead of crockpot or slow cooker. And I love it!!! Just the name: pizza hotdish. When I took my first bite after mixing everything up, scooping the ingredients into a pan and finally pulling it out of the oven... I got to
