Crockpot Chicken Tikka Masala

You know, I don't think I have ever posted a recipe on here before. It's not really my thing.

Plus, I don't want anyone coming back saying they wasted a bunch of money on a food dish that ended up tasting like cardboard.

Insecurities, you know.

However, that has all changed. I am giving you a link to the BEST chicken tikka masala I've ever tasted... and it's done in a crockpot.

What is that I hear? A chorus of angels singing, "Hallelujah"?

If you love Indian food and don't mind gaining 5lbs in one sitting then you HAVE to try this. Admittedly, it's a bit of a pain because you have to marinate it overnight, then bake it for 30 minutes before you throw it in the crockpot, but it is sooooo worth it. Serve it over a little basmati or jasmine rice and I guarantee you'll be thinking you're eating a dish that was prepared in a kitchen in the middle of South India.

Unless, of course, you're Indian or British (CTM is hugely popular in the UK).... and then you might just start laughing.

HERE is the recipe. Thanks for the link, Peggy!

Oooh, oooh! I almost forgot. It calls for 3 lbs of chicken. We only used a pound of chicken and kept the other ingredients the same. Do that if you like your CTM with a lot of sauce. If you use the 3lbs then I'd recommend doubling the other ingredients.

And get this... it tastes EVEN BETTER the next day. Seriously, does it get any better than that??

Ok, well I have never had Tikka Masala, so it is difficult for me to say, but I doooo love food, and I have never NOT loved anything I've cooked by the Pioneer Woman.. so now I think you have to try Pastor Ryan's Tikka Masala (he guest blogs there) and let us know which is better. And if you do, THEN I will try it.

The Answer to Noah's Shirt Chewing...

NOTE: If you came across this page by googling "Shirt Chewing", please click here for the most recent post on Noah's shirt chewing. Thanks! Sugar. Who knew that five little letters could wreck such havoc? As I've mentioned before, Noah has a terrible shirt chewing habit. I can't quite remember when it all started, but we all noticed that it STOPPED completely when we were in Austin. The only thing that was really different was his diet - since we were living out of a hotel for a week. When we got home, we racked our brains to figure out what it was.... what food triggered Noah' s shirt chewing. We were home about 2 days when Noah started chewing again. Agave Nectar. Sim had put agave nectar on Noah's waffles. We took the agave nectar out of his diet and the next day, the chewing decreased. A few days later, I gave him a peanut butter and jelly rice cake. He started shirt chewing. It had to have been the jelly.. which goes to show that just because it's

Acceptance and Moving Forward

It's been so long since I posted here. I wasn't even sure that I would remember my password. And, actually, I really haven't planned anything to write out, but I just had this overwhelming urge to post today. Maybe so that I can look back on this post next year and see how far we've come, I'm not sure. But here we are... and here I am.... 2016 was a challenge. Not just for our family, but for everyone it seems. I look around and 2016 just seems to be a year of hurt. It was a tough year on so many levels.  A little over a year ago, on December 23, 2015, we were told that my husband most likely had a certain lung condition that gave him only three years to live. We are so fortunate that it was NOT what they thought, but it led us straight into 2016 full of fear and despair.... feelings which continue all the way through today.... and may lead into 2017. To condense a very long story that's full of grief and misdiagnoses and full on panic attacks (for me), I wi

Noah said, "I love you, Mom"!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I can't believe it!!! I walked by him sitting at the table and kissed him on the head and said, "Have I told you this morning how much I love you?" And he said, "Iduvumum" Of course, I was stunned. And I said, "Noah, did you just say, "I love you mom? Yes or No?" And he said, "Esssss" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Of course I cried. And called Sim. And called my mom. And Noah was so pleased with himself that he took me by the hand and led me straight to the TV so that he could watch an Elmo video. I guess he thought, "Hey, I told you I love you, so now I get a freebie." This officially goes down in history as the best day of my life. (Doing carthwheels and happy dances and thanking Jesus). Yayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
