Southern (Indian) Thanksgiving
Tandoori turkey in the oven
For a few years now I've wanted to try to marry the traditional Southern Indian food my husband grew up enjoying with Thanksgiving as I know it (Southern girl with a love of spice and heat).
So this year I did a trial run of a tandoori-style turkey made in the oven. By next year I hope to build my own tandoor, or at least grill this guy, because it needs a little more heat to crisp up properly.
20 worst foods to eat
1. Worst fast-food chicken meal
Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips from McDonald's (5 pieces) with creamy ranch sauce
830 calories
55 grams (g) fat (4.5 g trans fat)
48 g carbohydrates
The only thing "premium" about these strips is the caloric price you pay. Add a large fries and regular soda and this seemingly innocuous chicken meal tops out at 1,710 calories.

Seared scallops with mashed cauliflower and roasted asparagus (South Beach Friendly)
I found this great idea for dinner last night: scallops with mashed cauliflower and roasted asparagus. So yum, and the recipe says it's only 300 calories per serving! Here's where I got it: http://homecookkirsten.blogspot.com/2008/03/seared-jumbo-scallops-with-cauliflower.html Seared Jumbo Scallops with Cauliflower Puree & Grilled Asparagus (serves 2) 1 lb jumbo sea scallops (about 10) 1 small head cauliflower 2 cloves garlic 1 bunch asparagus 2-4 tbs snipped fresh chives 1/2 c Greek yogurt 1/2 tbs butter Olive oil spray (or you can brush/drizzle) Salt and pepper to taste Seasoning salt Directions: Bring a large stockpot of water to boil.For Dinner Challenge #5 : Grilled Asian Flank Steak or Fish Tacos
OK girls. I tried to find two easy and healthy recipes that are great for the summer. I thought that a fish dish would be awesome and you can't go wrong with a good steak on the BBQ.
Coconut Beef Satay with Thai Peanut Sauce
Eat me.
I made this tonight and it was yummy! It’s a combination of two recipes.
2 Ingredient Recipes
My mother is a reader of Woman's Day Magazine (whose recipes I usually love) and she passed on these 2 ingredient recipe cards to me. Sure, some of them are a little odd and I will probably never, ever attempt, but there were a few that immediately grabbed my attention and I can't wait to try out! (Pineapple with coconut sorbet...:DROOL:)
If you want the actually cards to print out and some additional ideas: http://www.womansday.com/food/6577/2-ingredient-recipe-cards.html, http://www.womansday.com/food/6373/none.html
Appetizers
Marinate mixed olives (jar) with freshly grated peel and juice from 1 lemon in refrigerator at least 24 hours.
What would you get for $100?
Here's the dilemma: For my wedding *yes, it was two years ago we got TONS of silverware. In fact, we had so many extra sets that we returned a lot of them and now have a gift certificate to Dillards (since they only give store credit). I've used up part of it but still have $100 left.Give 'em Grilled Cheese
I was a latecomer to the wonderful world of grilled cheese. When I was younger, I didn't eat much cheese, due to apparent insanity, and when I got a little older, I honestly thought that you couldn't make grilled cheese without using American cheese.
Sooooo not a fan of American cheese.
