Chicken Curry

This was a spontaneous hack of a curry, after not quite finding a recipe I liked online. It turned out great, and is very scalable, in that you make a batch of curry sauce first, and can then use that in a variety of ways.

For the sauce:

(This makes ~ 4 cups of curry sauce)

  • 3 T coconut oil
  • 1 large white onion, diced
  • 5+ cloves garlic, whole
  • 2" ginger, chopped
  • ½ cup carrots, shredded, optional
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 4 T of curry masala
  • 2 t of cayenne
  • 2 t curry powder
  • salt to taste
  • 1 14oz can tomatoes
  • 1.5 cups broth
  • 4 tbsp cashew butter

Summer Pizza

This Kitchn recipe was a nice way to use up some leftover summer produce, and tasty to boot. We don't usually grill our pizzas, and this turned out just fine using our standard Neapolitan pizza cooking process.

Ingredients
1 ball pizza dough (about 1 pound), store-bought or homemade
2 to 3 tablespoons tomato sauce, store-bought or homemade
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, or to taste
