Hi all again, this is my second post, and I am not going to bore you with small details or having nothing to say. Expect pictures tomorrow, as it is Fotography Friday. I am still coming up with ideas for posts, and working on arranging some sort if craft thingy for everyone to enjoy. I hope that everyone will like what I have to say and show, and will continue to follow my blog. Look forward to Winsome Wednesday, because I have a doozy of little people quotes to share. I have also decided to add Meditation Monday, where we will discuss ways to relax (not necessarily by meditation) and perhaps a yogic discussion.
Again if anyone has any suggestions, I am an open book, and would love your input.
Have a great day, and enjoy the little things in your life.

On the idea of adding recipes, I will start you off with a dish I found online that I made recently. Tired of the usual meat and potatoes dinners that are all too often made in this house I went online to find something out of the ordinary for us and I came across this one and thought I would give it a try! It is called Quick Chicken Tikka Masala. It is an Indian dish and is quick, easy to make and was a big hit in our house!!!

Add the reserved spice mix and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Sprinkle with the reserved 1 tablespoon flour and stir until coated. Add tomatoes and their juice. Bring to a simmer, stirring and breaking up the tomatoes with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring often, until thickened and the onion is tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
4.Stir in cream. Add the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium-low heat until the chicken is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.
