Pin ItSo this is gonna be a super quick post about my soon to be devoured dinner. A lightening fast Spinach Chickpea curry. YUM!!!! This whole adventure began because I’ve been on a kick lately to use all the spices and dried foods in my cabinet. Why? Well it frankly was starting to be sad. […]
It’s so cold outside this morning. I was all snug under my covers and getting up didn’t sound like the best idea. But, I have writing to do, church, and plus I was hungry. I looked in the fridge and saw the remains of a rotisserie chicken I bought, some leeks, and carrots and decided to make a super quick Chicken veggie soup to warm up my soul. Basically I threw the entire carcass, leeks, onions, carrots, jalapenos (because I like it hot), lots of dill, poultry seasoning, a dash of sesame oil, garlic powder, cumin, and cilantro into a pot.
I took a shower and got dressed while everything cooked together. 30 minutes later I took the bones of the chicken out of my pot and VOILA! A fast and delicious way to start my day! YUM!

A good meal doesn’t have to take very long!
I must admit, for years I was perplexed by artichokes. Every time I saw them in the grocery store, with their hard looking exterior, I couldn’t even imagine eating one.

The holiday season is filled with sugary delights to tempt even the most steadfast health nuts I know. If they can’t make it through this unscathed what hope is there for the rest of us? Peanut brittle, cakes, pies, macaroons, or my mother’s famous southern pecan pralines. Dangerous treats waiting around every corner to ensare us in their web. Is this a hopeless battle? Nope… not at all.
