Ah, I can believe I neglected to write something about these delicious eggs. They are easy to throw together and the ingredient options are endless, I am thinking of sautéing some spinach with garlic and sausage next time instead of the ground beef. Make these and be happy!

Easy Curry Chicken Thighs
Here’s the background to the creation of this dish. I asked my wonderful husband to take out two chicken breasts in the morning because I had forgotten to when I went to work. He smartly took out three because they looked small and they were defrosted by the time I got home. Awesome. The only problem was that they were bone-in skin-on chicken thighs and they were really small. So I took out three more, defrosted them quickly and got to pan searing them before baking in a delicious curry and coconut milk bath. They turned out most excellently and would be great served over steamed veggies and rice. This recipe takes just 15 minutes to whip up and spends about 40 minutes in the oven, so you have lots of time to do other things, like enjoy a glass of wine.
Egg Drop Soup with Ginger Chicken
Another easy-peasy and delicious soup recipe that I happily whip up on lazy feeling nights. Gen loves it, so it is definitely going to be a consistant sight at our dinner table. Unlike most recipes for egg drop soup, I add pieces of gingered chicken, as I felt the soup needed a little oomph. The ginger adds a little zing and the chicken bumps this up from a starter to a meal. Also, sorry for the terrible pictures, I make this soup when I am very hungry and in a hurry, so pictures were low on my priority list, but the soup is high!
Ahhhhhh no post yesterday! I was Smitten Kitchening!
I will be posting yesterday’s post tonight, which seems silly but I was at the Smitten Kitchen book event last night as I now intern for her Canadian publisher! I was a madhouse. Far more people showed up than Chapters expected, so the space was not nearly sufficient. She was wonderful, answered the audience questions with humor and the brightness her readers have come to expect. She happily signed away and had a nice moment with each attendee. Deb Perelman, no surprise here, left everyone smitten.
Cookie Swap!
Well, I am just gosh-darn excited to participate in The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap. Cookie swaps are one of my favourite thing, and I’ve successfully held a cookie swap for the last few years, in Vancouver and in Calgary. Getting to swap goodies with other food bloggers, well that is just darn exciting! I will be sure to take lots of pictures and post up the fabulous cookies once I bake them and I will be sure to show-off the deliciousness that I receive! Huzzah, tis the season!
