Coconut Curry Chicken + Weekly Menu

The weekend FLEW by. I hate that!

We took Friday afternoon off to take the girls to the county fair and we had a great time! I thought we would survive at least one more year without having to ride the rides, but no such luck. We did, however, escape without face painting. Small victories. The rides, though – they’re either totally boring OR totally scary…and all are WAY too expensive.

As we were letting the girls ride on their second and final ride, a young family approached us and offered us a TON of tickets for rides that they weren’t going to use. Needless to say, the girls were THRILLED. Shea then went on a “big kid” ride with Mark (think: loud, fast, and dizzy). Her face – OMG. I felt terrible. She got off and after being asked if she would want to go on that ride again she said, “No, maybe when I’m 7!” 🙂

Saturday was spent in Chicago throwing my bestie’s baby shower. It was perfection and she looked incredible! She had all her nearest and dearest in attendance. Afterwards, I got to see my brother and dad so we visited with them before I took off for home.

While Mark was home with the girls, I was told that they grocery shopped and did artwork “all day”. That was confirmed after our dog helped herself to sleeping on our outdoor table and ended up with glue glitter all over her butt. Ridiculous. They grocery shopped for the staples while today (Sunday) was our typical grocery list day. Mark went to the store while I baked away with the girls.

Mark was able to complete the grocery shopping because it didn’t include anything in this recipe: curry powder, red curry paste, ginger, coconut milk, fish sauce, etc. But MAN, if you can round up these ingredients, you will NOT be disappointed. Big on flavor, this Coconut Chicken Curry will quickly become a favorite!
