I had a craving for baked beans a few days ago and I decided to act on that impulse. It’s probably one of the most rewarding things to do as a human, is it not?

Since the weekend is upon us I figured this would give me plenty of time to soak the beans overnight, prepare the beans and then slowly cook them for 8-10 hours. Getting up on a Sunday at 7AM is just plain wrong, but for some reason I was compelled to do it. Sigh. And now I present to you the final product!

Through recent inspiration (let’s blame Jesse over at beansandtoast.com) I decided to make a quick and easy Korma dish, but was tired of the usual chicken that we normally eat in Indian food. So instead I got some veggies, coconut milk and korma paste together and created a lovely vegetarian dish that tasty is and filling!

Every few days I get an insatiable craving for Indian food and this is how I decided to curb the hunger this time. Butter chicken is one of the most delectable and easily edible dish for just about any crowd, and this recipe proves that even your regular kitchen cook can provide a worthy Indian dish in a pinch.

Fall is, not only the best time of the year, it’s also a time where friends and family get together to kick off the holiday season. I felt a little adventurous today, as you’ll notice by the long list of ingredients and the inclusion of 4 pictures throughout the cooking process. This root soup is a favorite of mine, and this latest batch has to be the best I have ever tasted.

This is an old recipe of mine that I first discovered at least 3 years ago. Melanie dug it out of our recipe folder and ordered kindly asked that I make it for supper tonight. What followed was quite possibly the tastiest meal I’ve had in months.

I sometimes get a hankering for lemongrass flavoured dishes, and at about 50c per stalk, there’s just no reason to cut it up, bruise it and toss it in an asian dish. Add to that this seemingly new obsession with soups and you’ve got this lovely and tasty creation above.

With plenty of veggies and flavor this soup has quickly climbed our ‘top soup’ list, and will likely remain for sometime. Read on for ingredients and directions!
