The Different seasons of the Midwest
It was the weekend with bright sunny skies outside. Birds were chirping outdoors, summer fast approaching. A relaxed pace in the air, a sense of contentment the warm weather usually brings.It felt good to step out and enjoy the weather. The joy of living in the midwest and enjoying the different seasons is a treat one gives oneself.
Weekend chores
My mind races to the “To- Do- List” for the weekend.Yet food comes first in the list. What do I cook today ? Weekends are for experimenting with food, trying out new recipes, blending flavors to create new tasty dishes.
The avocados, I bought last week were sitting on the kitchen counter. Suddenly a thought emerged to use them in a dish with chicken, creating a creamy texture.Does it always have to be butter chicken ?
What’s cooking today ?
Summer time is for summer bodies, I told myself .Finding healthy options is not a must but a necessity! What if I substitute butter and replace avocado’s instead and create an Avocado Chicken curry recipe instead ?
