The boys licked their bowls clean and Scot and I both went back for seconds. No complaints there!

Hi there, can't lay my hands on your e-mail address so I thought I'd get in touch via the comment section. Derek made an incredible vegetarian recipe tonight that you simply must try: http://eatlikeagirl.com/2008/11/04/butternut-squash-chickpea-and-spinach-curry/ it's hands down the best curry we've had yet. Try blitzing it with a stick blender just a bit before serving, leaving some chunks for texture. So deliciouse! We ate it over quinoa of course!
