In honour of all the time I have during my week off, I decided to make a new recipe :) I was watching the Food Network this morning, and the Chicken and Coconut Colombo recipe on Ricardo & Friends caught my eye - partly because it looked delicious, and partly because I've had a can of coconut milk in my cupboard for about a year now that really needs to be used!
A trip to the grocery store later, I was all ready to get started. The recipe called for the chicken to be pan-fried, but it was beautiful outside, and things always taste better grilled anyway ;)
The grill station, complete with a beer! I followed the recipe pretty closely - the only changes I made were adding in some carrots, using a jalapeno (grocery store didn't have any habanero), and omitting the allspice (I forgot to pick some up, d'oh!).
The finished product, served with some Japanese rice. I really enjoyed it - the chicken was tender, all the veggies were great, and it had a good amount of spice to it. There are also tons of leftovers, which will make for a happy dad and boyfriend ;)
For dessert I made a delicious ice cream concoction:
S'mores Sundae
- 1/2 cup vanilla frozen yogurt
- 2 tsp chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp marshmallow fluff
- 1 graham cracker
Yum! :) Now it's time to get my stuff together and turn in early. Goodnight!
