Red Thai Soup/Curry/I don't know?

I found some red thai paste at my grocery store. It said to add a can of coconut milk to make the curry. Same as the coconut korma, it was good, but not as good as a restaurant.

I added:
-a can of coconut soup
-green pepper
-chicken
-bamboo shoots
-some chopped onion and garlic
-a bag of noodles (pictured below), cooked without the seasoning

Serve with some rice and boom. Dinner. We just finished the leftovers and I'm relieved ahahah

Bananas Foster

I don't know if it's the Honey Boo Boo Child I've been watching recently or what, but I'm on a bit of a southern kick! And I need me some bananas foster!!

Here is the recipe.

Ohhhhh goodness. good golly goodness. gooooood stuff!

Awesome pumpkin bread

I found this recipe: Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread. Wheeeeeeeewwwie! Honey child. This is good :)

I decided to add a streusel topping, I know, I don't know what came over me. But I'm glad it did! It was a nice addition.

This is the recipe for the streusel topping I used:
1/2 c flour
4 tbsp butter
4 tbsp sugar
2 tsp cinnamon

I made the pumpkin bread the same, I just topped it with the streusel right before throwing it in the oven. DElishhh

Chicken Korma

If you like curry and you haven't tried Chicken Coconut Korma then YOU DON'T KNOW CURRY!!! Remedy this immediately and go to an Indian restaurant, repent, and get yourself some chicken coconut korma.

I had to make some because, as college students, we can't afford to eat out :(      ...(and it's not as good in my opinion)

But if you would like to try making it, there are several recipes on the internet which involve a lot of spices and ingredients and steps, bleh. So I did the same thing as the butter chicken curry. I bought a jar of the curry and added some coconut milk and some extra spices (chili powder, ginger, coriander, etc).

One day we will be debt-free non-students and we will be able to afford the real deal. Until then! I'll get my fix from jarred curry. :)

Chicken Parmesan

I didn't use a recipe for this. I just threw it together. I'm going to try to give an outline of what I did but be warned, it is far from exact... Just use the proportions you feel is right, you got this!!

-chicken breasts
-flour (seasoned with salt and pepper)
-beaten egg
-seasoned bread crumbs (Italian seasoning or parsley/basil/thyme/etc)
-oil for frying
-spaghetti noodles
-spaghetti sauce
-some mozzarella for the top

Pound out chunks of chicken breast and put in a plastic bag. Add enough flour to coat them and sprinkle in some salt and pepper.

Dip in beaten egg. Dip in seasoned bread crumbs. Fry 'em up in some preheated oil. I fried it because I like the crispiness. It's bad when it gets soggy and falls apart.

I put them on a bed of spaghetti sauce, put a little chunk of mozzarella on top, and baked it at 375 degrees for about 10 mins or so. I was just paranoid they didn't cook all the way when frying.

Serve with noodles and boom. Dinner :) Not totally traditional but it's how I like it!

BBQ meatloaf

Paula Deen you have done it again!

This is Paula Deen's BBQ meatloaf recipe. My mom really likes it and I know I do! Andrew liked it too! It has a homemade bbq sauce which is unique from store bought bbq sauce. I like it a lot. You could use store bought if you didn't want to make it.

And pictured you can see the lovely pink crocheted pan holders from our Aunt Elaine and the awesome Yankee candle from Andrew's brother and sister in law. We love you guys and we love your gifts! We use them allllllll the time :) 

Chicken and Mac

 Wheeeewww talk about bone stickin. This meal took a lot of butter. A lot. haha This meal is not for the faint of heart....

First we have homemade mac and cheese. It's Fannie Farmer's Mac and Cheese recipe. I liked it. I didn't love it. Do you want to hear something sad? I like KFC's fake mac and cheese. I realized that about myself when I was eating this. It was a depressing realization...

Next the chicken. This is a cool chicken recipe: ranch chicken recipe. It's made with corn flakes and ranch dressing mix and baked in the oven.

I HAD to have a salad with this. Moderation is key. Balance is essential. The salad doesn't exactly balance this out ;) but it helps. The true balance comes in having a lighter meal tomorrow night.

I love fast food. Don't even hate haha! This is probably healthier than a KFC meal since it's without the preservatives and the chicken is baked. It definitely tastes more homemade and people like that of course. I'm just saying I'd be okay with having Colonel Sanders cooked my meal instead, just saying! ;)
