Hope you are having a great week!  I made up my own Red Coconut Curry with Chickpeas recipe to use up some of the items I have had for a while in both my cupboard and refrigerator. It was on the milder side of curries I usually make but I enjoyed it just the same. This makes around 3 servings and since I cook for myself, I had leftovers for at least two more meals. ingredients: 1 tbsp olive oil 5 cloves of garlic ginger (freshly grated or powder) 1 & 1/2 tbsp red curry paste (I use this one here ) 1 can of coconut milk 1 can of chickpeas 1/2 cup of frozen peas 1/2 cup of frozen corn  1/2 carrot strips a stalk of celery cut in small pieces handful of fresh spinach optional spices to add: 1-2 tsp curry powder 1-2 tsp nutmeg 1-2 tsp turmeric directions: heat olive oil in a pot on medium heat mince garlic & grate ginger, then add to pot to fry off until fragrant (usually 1-2 minutes) stir in red curry paste and any other spices (...

Today I roasted a Delicata squash and the seeds. It was so delicious! I went years not eating seasonal vegetables like squash and sweet potatoes, thinking I wouldn't enjoy them. Now I can't get enough! They are so flavorful and with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil, the taste is heightened to new levels. I definitely recommend roasting your own different types of pumpkins, squash, and gourds. Here is sort of an easy step-by-step guide for beginners, like I was, on how to properly roast a squash... and save the seeds too! ingredients:  1 delicata squash olive oil salt directions:  preheat oven to 425 degrees fahrenheit wash the squash with warm water to remove any dirt slice the squash in half length-wise scoop out the seeds, place them in a bowl with water and set aside cut each delicata half into slices to form 1/2 inch moon-shaped pieces  arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer drizzle olive oil and sprinkl...

I went to a local outdoor food market in Harlem today and snagged some fresh produce. I have been craving apples so I got some Gala, McIntosh, and Pink Lady. I also bought a large carrot, a large sweet potato, and a Delicata squash. I am excited to try this Creamy Squash Rigatoni recipe with the Delicata. I baked the sweet potato for lunch using this Sweet Potato Fries recipe . I realized a little late in the game of me scarfing down the beautiful fries that I should have taken a photo... but nevertheless here is my masterpiece... there were only three left... and I may have eaten them straight from the baking pan. I haven't gotten any canned pumpkin puree yet but I plan on making some delicious pumpkin recipes, like this Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Bread in my new rose gold loaf tin and this Pumpkin Coconut Curry . What will you be making this fall?   🎃
