Slow Cooker Chicken Tikki Masala

Saw this via Borders Kitchen Blog Cookbook of the Week: "The Indian Slow Cooker" by Anupy Singla. The recipe is in the blog post so follow the link.

Sounds like a lot of work for a slow cooker recipe. However, I'm told this particular Indian dish is yummy and being able to make it at home in my beloved crock pot is intriguing. I'd have to dedicate most of the weekend to this, though, so it should count as at least two new recipes.

Mexican Crock Pot Chicken

FYI - If you accidentally put the crock pot on high and your husband notices it is boiling before it burns, dinner will be done in 4 hours instead of 7. :-)

Actually Cooking

Upon giving some more thought to this challenge, and my apparent inability to rise to it, I have decided I must work on actually cooking before I worry about one new recipe per week. I barely cook and hate the grocery store, so the pressure of having to find one new recipe a week, find all the ingredients, and follow through with making it seems a bit much.

We ate out every night this week that we were together. This is a problem.

So, this morning we went to the grocery store and meat market and food for dinners for the week plus breakfast and lunch staples. Dinner choices include:

1. Mexican crock pot chicken (meat base for any of your mexican favorites)
2. Boboli pizza (premade crust) and caesar salad (in a bag)
3. Beef tortellini (frozen) and marinara (jar)
4. Pork tenderloin with the sage cornbread crust

Not new recipes or all from scratch but four more dinners than we made last week, so I need to consider this a success.

I will think of a new goal structure and post soon.

Nothing New

Since I used the kitchen three times last week and was flustered by the chowder recipe, I've decided to take a week off. That's my excuse, anyway!

Today for dinner I will be making the posticker salad again and serving with hawaiian sweetbread rolls and fortune cookies.

Next week I have book club, so I will choose a new party food recipe for that and then do a new dinner recipe on Sunday.

Happy New Year!
