Red Curry Chicken in Coconut Milk

by

You need:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts- split in half then cut into thin strips
red curry powder
cayenne pepper
garlic salt
minced garlic
soy sauce
lime juice
2 T cilantro-chopped (Yes, cilantro is my sworn enemy… in anything BUT Thai food)
2 green onions-minced
1/2 red bell pepper- cut into strips
can of coconut milk
Jasmine rice- cooked according to package directions
This is a really easy recipe. I made it in the crock pot so that my chicken would be really tender and because I was going to be out of the house all day and I wouldn’t have time to stir it and make sure it didn’t burn.
Cook the chicken in a little olive oil on the stovetop, sprinkle with garlic salt and a couple of teaspoons of soy sauce. Once it’s cooked through dump into your crockpot: chicken, coconut milk, green onions, bell pepper, cilantro, several cloves of minced garlic, red curry powder and cayenne to taste. (Probably heavy on the curry, easy on the cayenne. And I can’t imagine any combination of vegetables that wouldn’t be delish.) Stir and set your crockpot to auto, or low. About an hour before serving I added several tablespoons of lime juice.
Serve with Jasmine Rice.

Mommy Tips: Road Trips

by

I packed up my 5, 3 and 1 year old daughters yesterday and left Mississippi for Alabama for the weekend. When I did, I forgot one of my own Mommy Tips and paid for it dearly.
When traveling with young children, carry their potty training toilet in the back of your car. I usually line it with a grocery bag and a handful of toilet paper for them to pee on (this avoids sloshing when you empty it.) When I stop to get gas, I open the back of my car and let someone sit down to use the restroom while I’m pumping. When they are done, you simply lift the lid and throw the whole bag in the trash can. (No smelly potty for the car ride.)
Then you line the potty again for the next one! If you have to go to the bathroom you at least won’t have to help your kids do the public restroom squat and can minimize your time in the Public Restroom Petri Dish.
(I really wished I had remembered to do this for our trip…especially when I had to take all three of mine through Fred’s to go to the bathroom.)

Mommy Tips: Popsicles

When giving my children popsicles I always give my kids the same color as their outfit. That way their stains match and I don’t have to sweat it.
