So it has been at least a month since my last blog. I am sad to say there won't be any new recipes for the next 7 weeks. I am currently working in Maine, and trying my best to eat "healthy" with camp food. Not easy. So many carbs AND milk and cookies every night. There is a salad bar but it got old after the first night.
Do you know how hard it is to resist fresh baked cookies with ice cold milk every night?!
The food is actually all very fresh and homemade but a lot of it is not the best for you and I am craving some fresh veggies. I am also missing my southern summer veggies right now. No vine ripe red tomatoes up in Maine. I wonder if they even know a good tomato up here? I am craving fresh tomato, onion, cucumber, squash and field peas. If any of you can figure out how to Fed Ex some of that to me that would be awesome! :) I do have one recipe for you guys, and if you all want to try it or attempt to try it and let me know how it goes that would be great! The chef here at camp, Angelo, is freakin awesome and he gave me a guide as to how he makes his chicken curry.....yes we get chicken curry here at camp!
Angelo's Chicken Curry:
Season chicken with salt and pepper, curry and garlic and let sit overnight.
When preparing the next day, cut chicken into pieces and saute in EVOO.
Add diced carrots, red onion, and any other veggie you desire. (eggplant, zucchini, etc.) Sprinkle with curry. (Angelo suggests you shake your curry a bit before you use the spice.....wakes it up a little!)
Add heavy cream to make your sauce. (He says you can use yogurt to make it healthier but it won't taste as good as with cream)
Serve with white rice and a fresh green veggie.
This was so so good. I will try to blog a few times while here with some other "camp" recipes! haha
On a Maine note, I had lobster mac and cheese my first night in Maine......I must say I could make better mac and cheese. I guess southerners know best! Haha
Okay off to work. If you make the curry let me know what you think!
