Today, our little princess slipped her harness and pulled a runner – if it wasn’t for a wonderful family that stopped to rescue her, we’d not be celebrating happy holidays this year.
After they calmed the panicking us down, we shared some great wine and stories.
Happy Holidays, us!
Qatar’s famous flown-in Holsteins (a few of the 14,000 at least) at Baladna Farm.
Sometimes what’s available in Doha surprises you – also found celery salt, which I’ve been looking for for a freaking year and only just gave up and purchased in the US.
This dish is a light but comforting bowl of goodness.
Gluten-free, paleo, keto
Coconut Chicken Chili
1 lb. ground chicken
2 small bell peppers, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 jalapeños, chopped and separated
1/2 large onion, chopped
1/2 small bag frozen spinach
1/2 small bag frozen broccoli
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 can coconut milk
2 bay leaves
2 Tbsp. chili powder
2 tsp. ground cumin
2 tsp. dried oregano
2 tsp. ghee
Salt & pepper
Toppers:
Hand full chopped cilantro
The second jalapeño
Juice of 2 limes
2 chopped green onions
First, prep your onions & garlic and sautée in the ghee until beginning to brown.
While that’s working, prep the rest of your ingredients.
When done, add to the bowl of an electric pressure cooker with the chicken. When the garlic & onions are done, add. Add all the other ingredients but the toppers + 1-2 cans water.
Set the cooker to “stew” and let go.
When time is done, open and taste for seasoning. Add more salt & pepper if needed. Add the toppers and stir.
Serves 4
Birthday celebrations part 2: a lovely afternoon tea with a great friend – lots of time to catch up, and gorgeous little nibbles.
Happy National Day, Qatar.
Ignore the dirty kitchen. This is my princess, who POUTED all freaking day because her dad dared go to work.
Pouted and refused to do anything but sleep on me or follow me around, sitting on her little blankie because she doesn’t like to put her butt on the cold floor.
Because she’s a jerk, and we can’t have rugs.
Life is hard when you’re a spoiled rotten princess.
