Coconut Chicken Curry

So Aaron and I have a place in our hearts for Thai food. We'd never even really tried it until we moved to WPAFB in Dayton, Ohio. If you ever have the chance...go to Thai 9 in downtown Dayton. Just don't go anywhere else in downtown Dayton.

Anywho...I'd been looking for a red curry soup/noodley concoction that had just the right blend of spice, heat, and yummy coconut flavor. 

And this is what I came up with. It's pretty easy even though some of the ingredients look random. Enjoy!

Chicken Teriyaki Noodle Bowls

So last night I was craving a bit of Asian food. Which is not easy to come by in our part of Germany...at least, not within 5 minutes. So I decided to throw together some Chicken Teriyaki Noodle Bowls. This was pretty simple, all I needed to get was the veggie mix. We do have a pretty stocked pantry though, so double check if you need extra items. 

*You'll notice that some of my items are in German but it's the same as the American products.

Mexican Style Zucchini Boats

I can't tell you how much I love using zucchini. Especially in dinners as a substitute for noodles or as a veggie "filler". Cooked zucchini doesn't have a super strong taste, but I can add it to lots of dishes and get my veggies in without the taste taking over the dish.

Tonight I wanted to do zucchini boats. These are always yummy. But I love anything spicy so a Mexican flavor was a must.

Please note that a lot of my cooking is "by taste". I may put certain amounts in the ingredients lists, but you can add or subtract depending on your own taste.

*6 boats - serves 3-4

~ Ingredients ~

Along with a 9x13 pan I used the following:

• 3 zucchini
• 1 can rotel
• 1 can non fat refried beans (realized that great northern beans would also be a great choice)
• 1 pound beef (sorry, I didn't realize I was out of turkey which is what I was going to use)
• 1 cup cheese
• 1 6 ounce container of greek yogart
• about 30 tortilla chips (crushed)
• 1 packet of taco seasoning (not pictured)
• salt and pepper
• *1/2 tsp. ground cumin if you have it
