As a group, we are lucky enough to get to share in each others birthdays. This week was my 31st and Lisa & Lauren F were gracious enough to host. Being at these girls place is great! They are both wine distributors so we have literally hundreds of bottle to choose from out of their custom made wine racks to enjoy with dinner. Sometimes we're even lucky enough to bring a bottle or two home with us :) We were all in for a treat for dinner this week. Lisa made Ginger Curry Chicken in her crock pot. It was so flavorful and, well...yummy! Here is the recipe: (hint: I enjoyed mine with a big scoop of Lauren's Tzatziki over the top!! I'm hoping she'll share that recipe so I can post it to go along with this one)
Ingredients:1/3 cup tomato paste
4 gloves of garlic
2 tablespoons of curry powder
1 teaspoon of ground cumin
1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger
1 medium onion
2 lbs of boneless chicken thighs
salt/pepper
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
2 scallions - sliced
Directions: 1. Whisk- tomato paste, garlic, curry, ginger, cumin and 3/4 cup water. Add onion and stir. Place chicken on top and season with salt and pepper.
2. Put on low for 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 until chicken is tender and cooked.
3. Cook rice about 10-15 minutes before serving (I used chicken broth instead of water when cooking the rice to add a deeper flavor, use about a can for every 2 cups of rice).
4. Before serving add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and yogurt and stir.
5. Serve over your choice of rice, sprinkled with sliced scallions.
If you'd like to stick to the Indian theme serve with Naan bread on the side.
Let me finish by adding that I am so freaking lucky to have such a wonderful group of girls on my side. Thank you all so much for the love and fun you each grace my life with each and every week. I am so blessed! -AK
Enjoy the dish everyone!

We are a group of women ranging in age from 27-32. 2011 marks the 5th Fall season of us getting together weekly, on Thursdays, to make dinner for eachother, talk about our kids, marriages, jobs, weddings, homes, weekends and so on. We travel as far North as Kirkland and as far South as Graham to visit each week...that's a total of nearly an hour of driving (not counting traffic), so that should show you how dedicated we are to "the cause" of having some girl time each week. A few of us are mothers and have planned our weddings. Our group also includes a dietitian, wine distributor & a few teachers ranging from elementary to high school. We are here to share our favorite recipes, update you on our girl talk each week, answer questions from experience and review products for companies and share our takes on them for the women out there just like us.
