New Food Monday

Hmm...3-day weekend, what to do? Oh, I know. Cook and bake, of course! I was so productive this morning- making a batch of baked oatmeal and doing one load of laundry, all before 9 AM! After getting dressed, I headed out to do some grocery shopping so that I could do some more cooking this afternoon.

While having an NCIS marathon on in the background, I made some butter chicken and lemon poppy seed muffins. I didn't have any rice to go along with the butter chicken, so I improvised with some pasta. I was a little unsure of how it'd taste because of all the unfamiliar spices that went into the dish, but it came out wonderfully. I tossed a container of mushrooms to add more vegetables to the dish. As for the muffins, they were so very buttery and yummy. I think these count as Recipe #2 and 3 (out of 25) for my New Year's Resolutions.
