Recipes??

I'd like to start cooking more and was just wondering if anyone had good recipes. I don't eat much meat and I enjoy spicy food.

Yay for recipes!!! I have a good recipe for hashbrown casserole if anyone is interested.

Hey girly lets hang out here for awhile :P Have you been to the gateway to india restaurant in nanaimo?

I was just talking about this restaurant, I haven't been there ....I love exotic food though. Have you been there?

oh ya...I love east indian food. I like curry for breakfast :P They also have a store next to the restaurant. You can buy all sorts of spices, and east indian products. Its not best I have ever had tho. There is a good one in victoria called the taj mahal, very indian. the outside even looks like the taj mahal every other one I have been to sucked.

So what is your favorite indian dish?

I love SAMOSA's yum yum. I'm not terrible familiar with Indian food. I really love Mexican.

Here's a healthy snack for all you sweet tooth people out there.

Yogurt (not diet yogurt), real yogurt mixed with honey and if you want some crunch to it, add a couple of walnuts. Yum!

Yummy! Will substitute pecans, but sounds like a guilt free kind of snack. I'm a huge fan of the 8% yogurt ... thankfully my cholesterol is 142 so I get to indulge

And with yogurt ... when making muffins (especially if you use the package mix stuff), add yogurt to the mix for even better muffins. I like to use flavoured yogurt with fruit chunks. Gotta remember to adjust liquid to compensate, though.

Granola would be good in the mix.

Spicy huh? try my taco plate smothered in homeade Salsa!!!

Manda ... need that homemade salsa recipe!!!
