Thai Pineapple Chicken Curry
This pineapple curry is a quick and easy Thai curry dish that's sweet and spicy. I became enamored with this dish at a local restaurant and then worked to duplicate it at home. I think I've got the taste and presentation pegged. I'm guesstimating the amounts since I don't measure much when I cook. Feel free to adjust to taste.
Pumpkin Pie Seeds
The pumpkins are carved, the pies are baked, but how should you toast those pumpkin seeds? My favorite variation by far are these sweet pumpkin pie-spiced seeds. I've tried the stovetop method for coating the seeds, but they were too sticky and hard for my tastes, and easy to burn too. Try this baking method instead and they'll turn out perfectly toasted and crunchy.
Slow Cooker Venison Sloppy Joes
This recipe for venison Sloppy Joes comes from my friend who is a guide in Alaska. It's excellent for sandwiches on rolls with sharp Cheddar cheese. Yum yum! It's slow-cooked in a slow cooker so even the toughest of roasts or stew meats will work; eventually the meat just falls apart! It's also good served over hot cooked rice.
