This is a recipe my sister RAVES about and I have yet to try it. It sounds like everything I would love but have yet to get around making it so thought I would try it with you ladies!her favorite part is that it adapts well to whatever is in your fridge and takes no time to make (except maybe the rice)
1 1/2 tsp oil
2 Tbls curry (or more if you want)
1/2 onion
2 garlic cloves
1 can coconut milk
1 can tomatoe sauce
1 can stewed tomatoes
3 Tbsp sugar
Saute the onion and curry in the oil about three-five minutes until the onion looks soft and clear.
Mix everything else together and simmer. I used my crock pot today after cooking the onions. Just be sure to use really low heat.
**Add cooked chicken (cut up leftovers or saute some breasts), and veggies galore. I have added pineapple too. It is sooo good my kids eat it up.
I serve over brown rice.

Asian inspired "grilled" halibut
This is a new favorite recipe! I found it on allrecipes.com and love it!!! I will copy the recipe into the post but first here are a few notes
* I make the sauce and use it as a marinade for about 30 minutes before cooking and skip the basting step.
* I tend to cook the meat/fish in a "foil pack" on the grill but have also done so in the oven since I prefer my fish to be moist and not have the crispy edges.
*I have used halibut, cod, tilapia, chicken and even a pork chop in this same recipe all turned out fabulous!!!
Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (1 pound) halibut steak
Directions
1.Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
2.Place butter, brown sugar, garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, and pepper in a small saucepan. Warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is completely dissolved.
3.Lightly oil grill grate. Brush fish with brown sugar sauce, and place on grill. Cook for 5 minutes per side, or until fish can be easily flaked with a fork, basting with sauce. Discard remaining basting sauce.
