I was delighted when adorable Aarti won The Next Food Network Star, but when I checked out one of her recipes (that sounded great!) it must have contained 20-25 ingredients. Okay, many were spices, but the whole thing sounded like a project, definitely not a quick dinner.<br /><br />~ Krista, who may leave Indian cooking to the pros at Indian restaurantsKristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11002970043709820868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-49777976082941841862011-01-24T16:59:26.672-05:002011-01-24T16:59:26.672-05:00Terry, I hauled out my crock pit just the other da...Terry, I hauled out my crock pit just the other day.

It's so nice and warm and, well it's comfort food!<br /><br />Hannah, I have to find more ways to use chicken thighs. Since they're dark meat, they tolerate a bit more cooking than chicken breasts and turn out wonderfully tender and tasty.<br /><Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11002970043709820868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-64882245492452346172011-01-24T16:57:12.707-05:002011-01-24T16:57:12.707-05:00Cleo, I'm sure it's cold up your way, too....Cleo, I'm sure it's cold up your way, too. BTW, bratwurst is very good on its own! You don't need a excuse to buy it. However, it varies widely from brand to brand. I'm a fan of Niman's Ranch and Organic Prairie. In NY, there are probably loads of butchers who still make their own -- yum!<br /><br />~ KristaKristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11002970043709820868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-75474405186381055022011-01-24T15:55:38.820-05:002011-01-24T15:55:38.820-05:00I also love using chicken thighs in recipes.

I decided that Indian food must be an acquired taste, or I did something really, really wrong LOL. The tomato cream sauce though, was a hit, and I much prefer pasta to rice, so I think I might try again, without the Indian spices. <br />Update for Riley: I stopped resisting Shelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763944794673350184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-21357142964428160692011-01-24T14:04:22.689-05:002011-01-24T14:04:22.689-05:00I hadn't thought of using chicken thighs ... g...I hadn't thought of using chicken thighs ... great tip and a delicious recipe I intend to try tonight!!<br />Thanks Krista!Hannah Dennisonhttp://www.hannahdennison.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-87721508970429916972011-01-24T13:25:22.514-05:002011-01-24T13:25:22.514-05:00ooh, I like this recipe and I'll chime in on h...ooh, I like this recipe and I'll chime in on how inexpensive thighs are and the flavor that you get.

They're economical, the dark meat brings a deeper, richer flavor to dishes like this one, and they don't dry out as easily as breasts. I'm also totally lovin' the bratwurst idea!

It seems like most recipes use chicken breasts because they cook so quickly, but thighs cook fast, too, and are a nice change.<br /><br />~ KristaKristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11002970043709820868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-74635765113646285992011-01-24T05:16:49.413-05:002011-01-24T05:16:49.413-05:00Sounds wonderful...something warm for a cold eveni...Sounds wonderful...something warm for a cold evening!
