The other night, I decided to experiment with a new recipe and
although I sometimes find curry flavor overwhelming this one was just right.
Ingredients
1 head of cauliflower divided into florets
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-in.
pieces
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil, divided
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
2 teaspoons minced ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 cup canned light coconut milk
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons basil
2 cups hot cooked brown rice
Preheat oven to 375. Arrange cauliflower florets on a baking sheet and spray with olive olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake for 30-45 minutes until slightly browned.
Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil to pan
and swirl to coat. Add onion and cook 4 minutes or until tender, stirring
occasionally. Add ginger and garlic and cook until softened, about 1 minute.
Add curry powder and cook 15 to 30 seconds or until fragrant, stirring
constantly. Stir in coconut milk, lime juice, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Return chicken to pan. Cover, and cook over medium-low until sauce is slightly
thickened and chicken is done, about 5 minutes.
Spoon cooked rice onto plate along with roasted cauliflower and top with chicken mixture. Sprinkle with basil.
The chips are down in Scumble River
School psychologist Skye Denison-Boyd had hoped that her
maternity leave would be at least a little relaxing, but when she and her
husband, Wally, meet with the priest to discuss their newborn twins'
christening, an explosion at the nearby bowling alley rocks the rectory. And
although the business was closed at the time of the blast, there's a body
inside.
As police chief, Wally is inevitably drawn into the
investigation, which seems to indicate that foul play is afoot again in Scumble
River, and Skye can't help but do a bit of her own sleuthing. But the clues
come fast and furious, ranging from an odd new stranger in town to animosity
toward the gambling machines that had recently been installed at the bowling
alley, and Skye finds herself wondering if this could be the puzzle that stumps
her for good.
New York Times bestselling author Denise Swanson has penned
another hit for cozy fans with Die Me a River, the latest installment in her
beloved Welcome Back to Scumble River mystery series.

without them, there is no one to support her Lunch-to-Go service, which is a
vital part of her Chef-to-Go business. But Normalton University's orientation

sightings of a mysterious creature in a pond on campus. And with the whole town
feeling unsettled, Dani finds herself dealing once again with the infuriatingly
handsome Spencer Drake, the head of security at the university.
Although Dani vowed that her life would never again be boring
and routine after she quit her stifling corporate job, she had no idea that
she'd end up dealing with such strange happenings―not to mention murder. But as
the trouble in Normalton draw worryingly close to home, Dani realizes that if
the killer isn't caught soon, she may be the next one who is found scone cold
dead.

all the competition Las Vegas has to offer until his overbearing boss contracts
with Lions and Tigers and More sanctuary to have live exotic animals present in

animals under her care in the sanctuary healthy and happy. After the

is all in. But will Marco be able to convince Sage to give them a chance?
