September Cookbook Challenge: Chicken Fingers with Spicy Avocado Sauce
It’s week three of the September Cookbook Challenge! If you haven’t been following, the cookbook for the month is Quick Fix Meals by Robin Miller, and so far we’ve had one awesome recipe and another that was not so great. For this week, I chose Chicken Fingers with Spicy Avocado Sauce and I’m happy to report this one was a success. Because I count fried chicken as one of my favorite foods and I still hold out hope of fitting into my pre-motherhood jeans, I’ve tried a crazy amount of ‘oven-fried’ chicken recipes. Some have been decent and...

Like a lot of home cooks, I’m a bit of a recipe hoarder. I have a food board (actually two) on Pinterest, a battered folder brimming with recipes printed from the internet, a bookshelf lined with cookbooks and my latest collection – a ziploc bag full of recipes torn from magazines.

I serve this over fluffy wild rice or brown rice, and everyone, including my toddler, asks for seconds! You’ll find plenty of sauce...

I literally just finished this meal about 7 minutes ago and I’m already on here posting it, cause it’s just that good. As much as I love cooking (and eating), my experience with Indian food is pretty limited, and I never cook it at home. But I had the better part of a can of coconut milk I needed to use up, and this particular recipe fit the bill, without requiring me to buy any other ingredients – I love that! This tasted different than I expected, but I mean that in a good way…a very good way. If, like me, you’re fairly new to Indian food, this is a great...
