Maybe Menu
Monday night : Chicken Creole (recipe to follow as it is super-easy and tasty)
Tuesday night : The infamous Spinach pie
Wednesday night : West African peanut soup
Thursday night : I am going to go look for some fresh halibut.
Friday night : I'm finally going to re-test that recipe for Chicken Thighs with Balsamic Orange Sauce served with Couscous & Roasted Vegetables for Denise
Saturday and Sunday are anybody's guess right now but I'll probably aim for some more Seafood and maybe some Lamb and Potatoes.
Slow-Cooker Chicken Creole adapted from Cook Great Food by the Dietitians of Canada.
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
19 oz crushed tomatoes or tomato puree
5 oz tomato paste
1 bay leaf
2 tsp dried thyme
2 tsp chopped garlic (or two cloves)
1 tsp hot sauce
(Sometimes I cheat and just use the Vietnamese chili garlic sauce - about 1 tablespoon)
1/2 cup chopped onion
Place all of the above ingredients in a large slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-2.5 hours.
Turn it to high (if you were cooking on low) and add the following ingredients and cook for 20-25 minutes.
2 cups chopped pepper (I normally go for yellow or green for the color contrast)
8 oz spicy smoked sausage, sliced (If possible I get half and half of mild and spicy Skremska but any smoked sausage will do. If it is not spicy, I just add more hot sauce).
I also added broccoli the last time around and it didn't seem to hurt it at all. I normally serve over rice. A quick easy meal, especially if you have a rice-cooker as well.
There are some Flame sock (v.2) pictures forthcoming as well as a new hat.

Mmmmmm. I'll bet you could use a vacation to California! We have a well-stocked kitchen and I bet you'd feel right at home cooking! ;)
Yummy! It's 7:35 AM and I'm wanting some already! Thanks for the recipe.
ah yay. You got your softy. I'm glad you're feeding him, he must be hungry from his trip.
Thank you so much for the softy...I'm trying to come up with a proper name for him and keep him out of Fimbul's grasps. I'm saving the chocolate to sustain me while I write my paper. I really liked my gift. thanks again.
