If you like Indian food, you will probably really enjoy this. If you don't like spicy food, you will still really enjoy this because you can choose how spicy to make it. I like the flavor of spicy food but can't tolerate that much heat. Here is the link to the original recipe Butter Chicken And here it is with my slight variations. In the end it made enough for me to freeze two portions and have dinner for 3-4 nights. Hurray for bulk cooking! Ingredients canola or olive oil, for cooking 1 onion, halved and thinly sliced 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs 4-5 garlic cloves, minced 1 Tbsp. grated fresh ginger 1 28 oz. (796 mL) can diced tomatoes, undrained 2 Tbsp. tomato paste 1/2 Tbsp. chili powder 2 tsp. mild yellow curry powder 1 tsp. garam masala (best part of this recipe) pinch cinnamon salt to taste Directions In a large, heavy skillet, heat a drizzle of oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, sprinkle with some salt and saute for about 8 minutes until they are somewhat soft, golden and fragrant. Push the onions to the sides of the pan and add the chicken thighs and sprinkle with some salt, and brown them a bit on all sides - don't worry about cooking them through. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute or two. Add the can of tomatoes, the tomato paste, chili powder, curry powder, garam masala and cinnamon and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the lid and cook until the mixture thickens and looks more saucy and uniform. Or you could choose to not let the mix thicken up and eat this as more of a soup. At the end you can add cream like they suggest (I didn't) or even coconut milk would be amazing I bet. They say serve over rice but you can eat it as is, over pasta, or even cauliflower "rice"

Started my weight loss journey very recently and found this recipe super useful and filling aka I can eat it at 8 and not be hungry till like 1. It's basically scrambled eggs with a whole bunch of yummiest thrown in. 2 eggs Handful or so of spinach 3 small slice of hot chorizo finely diced (adding this is great because it's super flavourful you only need a little but adds so much to the meal) 1 slice of ham Garlic powder (again packs a punch of flavour with little calories) Salt and Pepper Add to hot pan and cook like you would normal scrambled eggs. I love this meal and it keeps me so full for ages. Sometimes I add an orange with it if I only have one egg. But its all up to you add more veggies if you want I'm thinking of trying out zucchini and broccoli. Live long and prosper friends Kiah Also I'm looking for a partner in crime for my weight loss journey, so if you're looking for one to send me a message

Hi all! I found this and thought I would try it - http://paleofood.com/recipes/veggies-roastedcauliflower.htm It's very nice! I used to make a bacon and broccoli pasta bake, and this reminds me of that taste. I wouldn't say its a popcorn replacement though...unless I am doing something wrong? I didn't add a lot of salt....I am not a fan. Instead of olive oil, could I try coconut oil for a sweeter taste? But what about the crunch? Thanks Wolfie

Hows everybody doing? I have a couple threads going on in the Rangers forum but I wanted to start one here about something new that has been a little difficult for me: Cooking good healthy food. Now I am in no way shape or form a chef (my fiancee is though SCORE!) There may be other threads out there like this one, but I wanted some plac that I could record my food ventures and rate them wether they are good or bad. I am going to be using a 1-5 rating scale. 1 being never again, wouldn't even feed it to a zombie, and 5 being a must make no questiosn asked. I can't promise that I will write in here every day but I will make an effort to post any new recipies that I try on here. So without further to do my FIRST recipe of the thread is *mostly* Paleo Pizza!!!!! CRUST 3 tablespoons flax meal 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon onion powder 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 1 egg 2 teaspoons water 1-2 teaspoons oil TOPPINGS 1 can of black olives2 Tbsp green olives (cut into quarters)2 Tbsp of ground beef (left over from previous paleo attempt)1 handfull of pizza cheese (I know not technically paleo but how can you have pizza w/out cheese)2Tbsp pizza sauce (I used Ragu cause its what I had on hand)4-5 cherry tomoatoes (cut into quarters)WHAT YOUR ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO DO! Mix the dry ingredients;add the egg, water and oil.Spray a microwaveable dinner plate with cooking spray. Spread the batter on the plate in a circle.Microwave on HIGH 1 minute 40 seconds.Meanwhile heat a little oil in a medium skillet on about medium heat; slide the crust off the plate and into a skillet. Brown on both sides.After browning crust, saute (yep big word for the non culinary guy) toppings (not sauce or cheese) untill you feel the tomatoes have been cooked fully through (about 3-4 minutes)Place the crust on a baking sheet; add toppings of your choice.Bake at 350º about 10 minutes until hot and bubbly.ENJOY! Overall I would give this a 4 out of 5 rating. The curst coudl have been more substantial. It was more like a bread almost. The size of the pizza was about the size of a personal pan from pizzahut. The olive and ground beef mixture was pretty good, and the tomatoes addd a good flavor. Tell me what you think? Would you try it? If you do or have let me know what our think! Hope to hear from you
