Starters • Tags: appetizer, chutney, curry, Guest Test Kitchen

Our Guest Test Kitchen series has been in effect for a while now, and each month, we look forward to having a new friend or family member share one of their favorite recipes with us and you as well. Here’s another one. Selene is at the helm for the month of March. She works with Chrystal, and she’s a girl who knows and loves good food. How perfect to have her around when it’s time for a new recipe. She may not see her post go up for a while as she’s trekking through Southeast Asia at this very moment where she plans to take a few cooking classes. We can’t wait to see what she whips up upon return to the States. When she’s back in town, she’ll catch up and check out your thoughts of her appetizer for today. Check it out!

Two Sides to Eggplant

Eggplant with Oyster Sauce, Curry Eggplant and Peanuts

The eggplant has a story to tell, and it is one rarely heard. The eggplant is a vegetable of power, prestige and beauty. It comes in a variety of colors, shapes, sizes and flavors. Even if all you have is the standard purple Italian or American eggplant that you will find in most mainstream markets, you can create completely different meals with them that may appeal to the more adventurous side of your taste buds. Eggplants mesh so well with a variety of flavors, so it’s hard to go wrong. A quick and easy stir fry type meal is one of the easiest ways to cook eggplant. Just chop, toss them in a pan, and you’re just about half way to a good meal. Take a look at a how one eggplant can be made in two different ways for two meals. Or a few more if you have leftovers!

Curry Salmon with Roasted Beets

It is not hard to be a foodie. We live it, and we love it. But there can be downfalls–pits and traps that make it hard along the way. They come in the form of baked goods, fried food, creamy dips and bacon-wrapped anything. Our lovely Diva at Beach Eats summed it up best in Fact Two of her special report on the life of a food blogger. It can be a struggle. A struggle for real! We like to cook and eat and share our cooking with friends, so they can eat it too. Sometimes we may be doing everyone a slight disservice, although no one wants to admit that. Well we will today, here on this blog! That being said, we had to take a break from the desserts, treats and snacks that we do love to make from time to time (back away from the butter!) and showcase a full meal packed with protein, fiber, beta-carotenes and healthy fats. Yes, there is such a thing as healthy fats. At least that makes us feel better about leaving our butter behind.

What’s the Curry?

Eggplant and Butternut Squash Chicken Curry

Vegetarian • Tags: butternut squash, chicken, curry, eggplant

This is not a dish you’d normally see on the menu right before Christmas, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a tasty treat for midweek eats. We were tipped off by a fellow Foodbuzzer that this would be the perfect way to use the random veggie pairing sitting in the pantry–butternut squash and eggplant. We made a few small tweaks, but we think the result is probably along the lines of its predecessor. Maybe even a little better! It’s kitchen discoveries like this that convince us a little creativity can go a long way. Why rush through dinner prep when you can spend a few extra minutes making a great meal?
