We are coming down to the bare scraps around here before I go for groceries. Therefore, the inspiration for these Coconut Curry Shrimp Bowls came from trying to figure out what to use what I had left. I’ve been trying to limit my trips to the grocery store, and the good thing about that is that I tend to use up everything we have with no waste. The other benefit of limited supplies – it allows you to be creative with the ingredients you have on hand. We had some shrimp in the freezer, a can of coconut milk and red cabbage. I’ve been slightly obsessed with red cabbage lately.…

Easy Weeknight Chickpea & Sweet Potato Curry
This healthy and quick Chickpea and Sweet Potato Curry comes together in no-time for a delicious weeknight meal. Freezer friendly too, so make this ahead of time and freeze it for a busy night.

Curry Night! Veggie Curry (Keralan) and Beef Kofta
I think that Jamie Oliver and I may be long lost soulmates. I mean not in a romantic way but I think we’d get along well. I loved his last cookbook I purchase a few weeks back so much that I picked up his other new book titled, Jamie’s 15 Minute Meals. Just flipping through the pictures had me drooling – while at the same time wondering if I could really pull some of these dishes together that quickly. I like Jamie’s style of cooking, not fussy but with maximum flavour and great ingredients. Tonight I thought I’d give a couple of his curries in the book a whirl. We’ve…
