A Tajine is an earthenware pot which is used in many Mediterranean slow-cooked, savory dishes. The Mediterranean diet is touted as a very healthy diet… I try to incorporate this type of meal into our menu at least once a month… slowly introducing the different flavors without too much fanfare…and so far everyone seems to enjoy each dish!

Paella is a wonderful rice dish that originated in Valencia Spain. It is a flavorful combination of ingredients cooked in a ‘Paella pan’ which is a round shallow pan with side handles.

This is the perfect meal to cook as a couple…grab a bottle of your favorite wine…I recommend a Spanish Rioja…pour a glass and share the stove! Continue reading

Today’s post is a little different…a little out of my ‘comfort zone’. At the end of February my fellow blogger & friend Lina from Lin’s Recipe’s sent out a challenge to make different North Indian cuisine. I was intrigued! I’d never made Indian cuisine before and had only eaten it once or twice so I really wanted to participate – as I said, to push myself out of my comfort zone and try something new. I chose Chicken Tikka Masala…after a little research (All Recipes, Bon Appetit, Food Network & Epicurious) I realized that each recipe was different so instead of following one of theirs I created my own unique Chicken Tikka Masala recipe! I think Lina’s going to be happy with the results…I know I was!
