If you are looking for something quick and simple for dinner, I have an answer-baked chili and garlic shrimp. It simple and it doesn’t take long. Read more for the simple recipe.  I complemented the shrimp with brown rice and spinach. I cooked the brown rice in the rice cooker and once it was done put some spinach on top and let it stream on top of the rice in the rice cooker for about 5-10 minutes.

Vegetable Curry


Vegetable Curry


I was in a mood for curry so I made some vegetable curry and served it with brown rice. The primary ingredient in curry powder and also an ingredient I added more of in my curry is turmeric. According to Ayurvedic medicine, a study of medicine that originated in India and focuses on longevity, turmeric has many great benefits. It strengthens digestion and has antibacterial, anti-flammatory, antioxidant, anti-tumor, and anti-amyloidal properties.  This powerful spice may also help improve memory. On addition, turmeric has valuable external use for cuts and burns because of its anti-flammatory property and its ability to stimulate tissue growth. I totally support the use of turmeric and curry in cooking. I should  definitely use it more often in my cooking. Hope you enjoy my curry recipe. Read more for recipe.

Sugar Cookies


Additive Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookie time. I found a recipe for Chewy Sugar Cookies on foodnetwork.com.  I thought it would be a good idea to reduce the sugar from one and a half cups of sugar to one and a quarter cups of sugar since I do not like my cookies too sweet; however, I was wrong. The reduced sugar failed to make the cookies chewy. Although the cookies were not chewy, they had a nice texture. They were medium soft and had somewhat of a slight crumbly texture. In addition, they were delicious and additive. The cookies’ strong buttery and buttermilk taste will keep you coming back for more so please control yourself. I had a little try controlling myself; hopefully you will do better than me.  Read more for the recipe. I hope you enjoy!!!
