Quick Chicken and Pineapple Curry

With the contest just HOURS away from closing, I thought I would do a double recipe review tonight.

First up: Quick Chicken and Pineapple Curry. Here's a shot from the cookbook:


And here is my creation:

Confession: I've actually made this recipe THREE times since receiving the cookbook. Its absolutely to DIE for. I abviously made a few modifications, but wow, this is going to be my new 'go to' curry recipe. The good news is that there are no special ingredients... I had everything in the house. YUM. Without divulging too much, the addition of cilantro REALLY makes all the flavors pop. Again, something I wouldn't have thought to add, especially to a curry dish!

Next a wonderful summer desert: Frozen Peach Melba Pie.

Here is my creation, prior to going in the freezer.

My opinion? I could take or leave it. I wasn't a HUGE fan, but its definitely a quick and easy (AND HEALTHY!)recipe that would be great to bring to a summer potluck. Bonus points, it looks pretty so the "WOW Factor" will definitely be there.

I used my decorator bottle set to decorate the top of the pie. I wish I wouldn't have spent the money to buy this 'quick fix' and invested in a real icing set. Its a pain in the butt to get the filling IN to the bottle, the lids pop off while you're piping and they are a real pain to clean.

Because I'm getting a lot of new readers today via the amazing Tina over at Carrots'n'Cake, I'm going to extend the contest until tomorrow morning.

Enter HERE all my new readers! Yes... I'm trying to bribe you to stay! :)
