About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
Lately, bhoni bindi (Easy Indian Style Okra, on this site) and chicken tikka masala (also on this site, both really wonderful recipes).
My favorite family cooking traditions
Making goat cheese mashed potatoes at holidays or other times we just feel like some decadent mashed potatoes! Then, using the leftovers to make potato pancakes.
My cooking triumphs
Lately, adding fresh basil leaves to spinach when sauteeing. Really nice!
My cooking tragedies
Focacta stuffed shells. Something went off with my chicken. Bleh.

"Pantry Raid" Chicken Enchilada Casserole
Yum. OH! I made this as a one-dish crockpot recipe and it was delicious. I used chicken breasts, not tenders, adding them raw to the seasoned tomato sauce mixture and cooking it all on LO for 3.5 hrs (less for tenders). After adding in the rest and topping with the corn muffin mix, I cooked on HI for 1.5 hours. Next time I'll add diced onion (1 sm) and 1-2 cloves minced garlic to the tomato sauce mixture, but even as is, this was great, and a keeper. Thanks for posting!

Cucumber Raita
Good base, but I used only 1 seedless cucumber, rough chopped; cilantro instead of mint; and added 1 tsp cumin. Pretty much exactly what I wanted. Thanks for posting!

Gourmet Thai Chicken Pizza
Yum! A bit of work, but worth it! I found the chicken mixture salty - I'll cut the salt by half or more next time. I added 1-2 tsp of sesame oil to the "pizza sauce", subbed fish sauce for soy (more like Thai) and lime juice for the tea. Added some red bell pepper to the toppings. I used the sauce and toppings for just 1 pizza, not 2 - worked great, but I had some sauce left over. I'll add a lil more sesame oil and mix with pasta for sesame noodles (very similar recipe).
