Tandoori Chicken II
Though I made this, I did not eat it as I am Vegan. I made it for my husband to accompany a "side" dish. When asked what he'd rate it, he said a 4 because of the spiciness and he's not huge on very spicy food.

Butter Chickpea Curry
WOW AMAZING!!! I wanted to try a new recipe and came across this. As there's no (good) indian restaurants in town, I'm going through withdrawals! I took a chance and doubled the recipe so I could take some in my lunches, and I'm SO glad I did! What a GREAT recipe! Very easy, as well! Served over some brown basmati rice with naan, and I barely tasted it I ate it so fast!!! This will DEFINITELY be a part of my regular meals!

Multigrain Pancakes
I was exceedingly disappointed when I wanted pancakes for breakfast and discovered I had no mix. This recipe was simple and I had most of the ingredients, so I gave it a try- with a few changes. I only used 1 cup of whole grain flour as it was all I had in the house. I used 3 teaspoons of brown sugar as I didn't have Splenda. As I am Vegan, I removed the egg whites, yogurt, and milk and used 1/4 cup apple sauce and 1/2 cup (plus a bit more as needed) almond milk instead. Also didn't add the water. Recipe was quite sweet as I added 1 cup raspberries as well, so the brown sugar probably could have been reduced or eliminated. Will definitely keep this on hand for the future!
