We recently had spring break for the kiddos.  We decided to take a trip down to Moab.  I have lived in Utah my entire life and never been there.  And I have been missing out!  We rented a jeep to take down there for Jeep Weekend.  Now, I am getting pretty big and pregnant.  I am nearing the end!  We tried to keep the trails easy for me.  But the hubby would always underestimate the length of things just so I would go!  The hike was a whole lot longer than 1/4 mile, and the trails that we took were a little bumpy.  It may have caused a few contractions and my feet may have tripled in size.  But all in all we had a blast!  A fun little getaway right before the babe gets here.

I love meals that I make that immediately go into my top 10 favorites of all time.  This was one of those meals.  It was SO easy to put together.  And the flavor was absolutely fantastic.  It was perfectly tender and moist and the french fried onions gave it a delicious crunch on the outside.  And did I mention how fantastic the flavor was?   Oh yes I did.  We couldn’t get enough of it and the family was raving how amazing it was!  You are going to love this one too!

Easy Butter Chicken Recipe – Murgh Makhani

Butter Chicken is definitely the most known and popular North Indian dish in the world. Most probably you will have come across this dish abroad and if you are in India then of course you couldn’t have missed it. I personally don’t remember when I tasted my first Butter Chicken dish but one thing is sure, it must have been in this marvelous big colorful country called India.

There are countless versions of this dish and I think so it must be the most modified Indian dish ever and everybody of course claims theirs is the best – just like the middle eastern shakshuka. Some folks prefer the butter chicken with the bones, some claim that it is not a butter chicken if certain ingredients are not included. Honestly I do not know the real version and I am not going to tell you either that my easy butter chicken is the best. But I am standing behind my recipe and I assure you I can eat it every single day in my life and so does my Indian husband.

I remember how our tandoori chef would cook butter chicken occasionally. You see, butter chicken is a typical north Indian dish and so is the Chicken Tandoori and Tikka from Punjab. I am not going to go into the details of the butter chicken history since it seems to be rather blurred (and even the Wikipedia entry has changed in the past year, which is suspicious).

Anyway, so our chef would prepare, cook and serve his fabulous and famous chicken tandoori and if some was left, he would not resell it the next day, no, he would turn it into a gorgeous butter chicken lunch for us all.
The cool part in reusing tandoori chicken and turning it into a delicious butter chicken dish is…
1. left overs are turned into something even better
2. Time management – you don’t have to marinate the chicken again
and finally…
3. anything cooked previously in the Indian Tandoori oven develops a crunchy outside and perfectly cooked inside.
Because I had gained this knowledge in the past years I was reluctant to cook a butter chicken without using tandoori baked chicken. The way our chef would prepare his food was beyond perfection, although he was a humble cook, and he was the controller of the mighty tandoori oven, so I, the white western girl, couldn’t possibly recreate something so majestic in the foodie world or so I thought…

After the tandoori dream crumbled and I was officially a big time tandoori fan I was stumped. I was missing the fresh nans and tandoori dishes and guess what, one fine day I simply started to prepare them at home. You can imagine that I had a couple of faux pas but all those mistakes helped me in understanding the mughlai, North Indian cuisine. Finally I have come to a point where I can say that this easy butter chicken recipe is all I will ever need because I tried different approaches but I enjoyed the flavors in this self developed recipe the most.

Not many people own a tandoori oven in their back yards, so an easy butter chicken recipe was required. I have taken the trouble to make this dish perfect because it doesn’t deserve anything less, so that you can get to enjoy it in your own four walls with the simplest means. I invite you to try this easy butter chicken if you love Indian food or if you want to learn about Indian food. Once you have done that, leave us a comment so that others can enjoy as well. I am of course always eager to read your comments and questions.

Crispy Chicken Wraps Biography

source (google.com.pk)

It’s been a good 3 months since I’ve last posted, I had to leave the goodness in Andrea’s capable hands for a time. But I’m back, I’m alive, I’m here! Three months… hmmm…. why would I avoid food-blogging for that specific amount of time? Oui, Oui, the obvious, I’m “with child” yet again! A majority of the women that exist in the world who’ve done it I’m sure can agree on one thing: food is the enemy for a minimum of 3 months. The kitchen is the enemy. Anything with flavor or smell within a 10 mile radius is the enemy.

Chicken Lettuce Wraps, PF Chang Style, Gluten Free
The food you see above I refused to touch with a ten foot pole. Had I posted something before now it might be titled “Look How Much I Love Grazing on these Cardboard Crackers.” Unfortunately my family insists on eating every single day, THREE times a day no less, so I was forced into the kitchen to make food stuffs. I doubt it tasted any good because I wasn’t testing it along the way myself…

This was my survival method. Not a joke. Ninja style. It’s very uncomfortable and difficult to breath as a grossed-out ninja. It goes without saying there were many buttered toast and sliced fruit dinners for the fam-damly.

Then about a week ago I got interesting in doing the whole chef thing again. Finally! I’d been resurrected. Pregnancy is so weird and irritating. Any-hoo, I started off cautiously by following a few saved recipes from some of my favorite fellow food-bloggers just to make sure I still knew how to chop, fry, and mix ingredients together. First was a veggie filled white bean casserole  from my number one blog crush, An Edible Mosaic. If humans could marry blogs, I might go for this one. (This was easy to make GF, simple replacement)

The second attempt at dinner was also a success, and the idea came from a new found blog I’ve been very much enjoying called Urban Baker. These Mini Gluten Free Corn Dogs were FUN to make and a huge hit with the family–particularly with Phil. They were surprisingly easy &  satisfying. As she recommended,  I froze the left-overs and used them in Teya’s school lunch later that week. I really like smart people….. Thank you smart people, you make us all very happy. (I was also able to make this sans gluten and without eggs, using EnerG Egg replacement)

Now back to that intro pic. Comfortably back in the saddle, Phil and I worked in tandem tonight to come up with a chicken wrap that mimics one of our favorite places, PF Changs. We’ve made these several times before, but they’ve always tasted a tad too Ammrrrcn. With the use of some new ingredients true to traditional Japanese cuisine and flavors, and cutting out items they’d never use like peanut butter, this time we hit it on the money. They’re very light and healthy when made true to form. Using just one chicken breast instead of two and then throwing in a heaping pile of  sugar snap peas in place also improved upon the weight of this meal.

Chicken Lettuce Wraps, PF Chang Style, Gluten Free

You know those white crispy rice noodles called Maifun rice sticks? Don’t skip on those! Not only do they add the necessary dry crisp, they’re a total blast to fry. It’s like a magic trick in your kitchen; a surprising confusing magical trick to make the burliest of manly men giggle. I witness it. Really, they’re in the Asian section of any store (bottom shelf usually) and only a couple bucks. Invest in the fun. When you fry them, make sure the oil is blazing hot (400 degrees) or no magic happens. Test one little noodle at a time: if it sinks its not ready, if it explodes in the blink of an eye it’s ready.

Chicken Lettuce Wraps, PF Chang Style, Gluten Free

This meal is extremely simple to prepare. It looks like a long list of ingredients, but that’s mostly sauces and spices which mix up in a jiffy. Yes, jiffy is still a cool word to use. The 90′s are making a comeback, don’t ya know. When it comes down to it this meal took no more than 30 mins from beginning to end. Bon appétit…  or in true Japanese fashion, douzo meshiagare!

Chicken Lettuce Wraps, PF Chang Style, Gluten Free

Light Chicken Lettuce Wraps — PF Chang Style
Author: Tawny
Recipe type: Main Dish
Cuisine: Japanese
Prep time:  15 mins
Cook time:  15 mins
Total time:  30 mins
Serves: 4

Ingredients
    For the Stir-Fry:
    3 tablespoons Bragg Liquid Aminos or soy sauce*
    1 tablespoon water
    2 tablespoons mirin**
    1 tablespoon sesame oil
    2 teaspoons rice vinegar
    about 3 tablespoons coconut oil- used in separate intervals
    1 chicken breast
    one 8-ounce can water chestnuts, drained and minced
    sugar snap peas
    1 cup mushrooms, diced
    1 teaspoon garlic, minced
    1 teaspoon ginger paste (or freshly grated, ½tsp if using powder)
    3 tablespoons green onion, chopped
    ½ bag of maifun rice sticks, fried**
    large leaf lettuce for the cups, either iceberg, butter, etc.
    For the Dipping Sauce:
    2 tablespoons agave (regular sugar can be used)
    ½ cup water
    3 tablespoons Braggs Liquid Amino or soy sauce
    1 tablespoon rice vinegar
    2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
    a smidgen of spicy mustard
    a small splash of mirin sauce
    1 – 3 teaspoons siracha chili sauce, depending on your level of heat pref.

Instructions
    Begin with the chicken breast. In your saute pan/wok, fry it up on med-high in a couple tablespoons of coconut oil, 4 to 5 minutes each side until it’s nearly finished. When it’s done, set on a plate to rest and cool as you work on frying the veggies.
    While the chicken is cooling, prep the stir-fry sauce by whisking all the ingredients together in a bowl (this doesn’t include the coconut oil).
    Dice the water chestnuts, snap peas, and mushrooms. When the chicken is cool enough to touch, dice it as well (very small bits). Now add another tablespoon of coconut oil to the saute pan/wok over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken, water chestnuts, peas, mushrooms, and garlic to the pan. Cook the mixture for 2 minutes, stirring often.
    Add the stir-fry sauce to the pan and saute for a couple more minutes, then stir in the green onions at the very end before removing from the heat.
    Fry the maifun sticks according to instructions on bag — usually in just a couple inches of oil (we use coconut here) on super high, 400 degrees, for a few seconds. Flip once so the other side of the noodles can explode. Let cool on a paper-towel or rag. TIP- the sticks are crazy stiff before fried, use kitchen scissors to cut them in half before frying. You’ll only need to use half the bag, save the other half for next time.
    Whisk together the ingredients for the dipping sauce in a serving bowl.
    Serve the chicken with a side of lettuce cups and the sauce drizzled on top with loads of crunchy maifun sticks.
    *If you’re unfamiliar with Braggs Liquid Aminos, it’s a gluten free soy sauce replacement, tastes practically the same.
    **Mirin is also easy to find in the Asian isle and only a couple $ per bottle. It’s sweet, and slightly alcoholic, so use lightly in dishes, but it’s quite necessary when going for a balanced authentic Japanese flavor. It’s also always used in teriyaki sauce, so there’s another good use for it once you’ve bought it.
