Waking up to snow this Tuesday morning bums me out and makes me happy at the same time. It’s a real bummer because well, it’s cold. And I’m literally cold all.the.time in the winter. But it’s awesome because I bought two new pairs of winter boots the other day. ON SALE. What is it about a sale that makes women feel like they conquered the world. I literally feel like I kicked some serious ass by saving 50% on boots. Killiiiiiiiiing it.
You guys, this past weekend was so fun. Instead of having a normal bridal shower, we decided to have a wedding shower together with all of our friends to celebrate with the people who couldn’t make it to our wedding that’s coming up in April. And when we decided to plan a shower, a friend mentioned having a Stock The Bar party where people bring alcohol or bar accessories to help stock your house. So then if you ever have friends over or a party, there is always some sort of alcohol in the house. I thought it sounded like an awesome idea (especially since we didn’t register anywhere) which is funny since I think most alcohol tastes like poison.
Well, the party was absolutely awesome. Friends from all walks of life came out to hang out with us, drink some cocktails, eat some snacks and bring alcohol or accessories. We got wine, liquor, bitters, wine glasses, cocktail recipe books, all the fun jazz. And we just had a friend build a bar cart for us for our dining room so we look like we drink a ton. I think I’m going to have to dust that area regularly, but it’s such a fun looking little area. Once I get it all decorated, I’ll share a pic with you guys!
The night was a complete success. I stayed out until 2 in the morning, like I’m good at partying or something. I drank dirty martinis, ate gluten free cupcakes, and caught up with friends that I hadn’t talked to in years. It was just wonderful. And made me even more excited about our upcoming wedding that’s going to be here in less than 2 months. HOLYCRAPLESSTHANTWOMONTHS. I need to find a checklist to make sure I have everything done before we leave for our destination wedding. I tried to find a veil the other day and the one that I wanted was $700!!! SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS. No effing way am I paying that to wear it for 20 minutes. No freaking way. I could buy so many cool things with $700. So I guess I need some jewelry. Balls. Does anyone have a checklist so I don’t end up forgetting my wedding dress…the only thing I actually have prepared.

Just made this for dinner, and it was a hit!
This was delicious! Cut the cayenne by half and was perfect for entire family (including 3 & 7 year old kids). All loved it! My husband raved…it was so yummy! There was plenty of sauce so I added more chopped rotisserie chicken to extend the life of this meal to leftovers today! Make it! Here’s a easy recipe for a good garam masala in case you can’t find it at the store: 1 tablespoon ground cumin 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom 1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg — makes more than you need for recipe. Thank you for the recipe!!
Made this last night for dinner and it was wonderful!! I have made a lot of Indian food over the years and most of the time it’s rather labor intensive. This involved a bit of effort — but that was mostly with making the coconut “rice” — gaaaaaaahhh!! I always dread getting out the food processor to make the cauli-rice, but I sure do love the end result and your coconut rice was especially delish!! Thank you for this awesome dish that can easily be made on a weeknight or for company 🙂
so glad you liked it!
This was delicious! Fed a hubs and 4 young kids with complaints about spice at all. Thank you!
UGH. I LOVE having curry for breakfast, so this would be perfect! I hate the snow, but I do love cold mornings to have super hot breakfasts!
I bought my veil at the Wedding Seamstress shop in Arvada for $70! She had quite a few options that were WAY more reasonable than other dress shops.
I made this for the fam, with cauliflower rice for me (whole30) and regular rice for the fam, and it was da bomb. This was so delicious, it’s saved to my “I’d make that again” folder on Pinterest.
Wow this was delish. My extremely 5 yr old picky eater had two servings. Thanks for the recipe. So comforting.
Wow! I made this recipe tonight and it was DELICIOUS! My husband and my 5 & 6 year old boys had a second helping. YUM!!! I will be making this again.

I made this and it was so good, I’m already planning to make it again. Thank you for this amazing recepie. Do you have a recipe for Saag – the creamy green curry that can be used with either Chicken or Lamb?
