Asparagus

Asparagus is one of my favorite veggies. This recipe is a must try! Super Easy too!!!
Simply throw the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle them with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper. Set your oven on broil, check them after a few minutes and toss them around to make sure they are cooking on all sides. By broiling them they are a little crispy but tender.

Small Group

We got a new computer! I have not been able to post anything due to computer problems, so I will have to catch you all up. We have a wonderful group of friends that meet every Thursday night for small group. A couple of weeks ago we had an intimate time of Prayer and Worship. I made some yummy cupcakes!

This is an easy recipe. The cupcakes are made from a boxed cake mix, the frosting is homemade whipped cream with 2 Cups heavy whipping cream and 2 Tbs sugar. Then topped them with strawberries.
I pray everyone has a Great week!!! I am enjoying Spring Break with my wonderful Husband!

International Week at The Toliver's

Hope everyone is enjoying their week! This past week I felt a bit adventurous and thought I would try some of Ryan's favorite foods. The first recipe is Chicken Bryani, which is Ryan's favorite Indian dish.

I cut up chicken, bell peppers and added frozen pea's. The Briyani paste made the dish very spicy.
The chicken mixture was atop Basmati Rice, which is an Indian rice. It is skinnier and longer than regular white rice.

The meal is topped off with raita a cucumber yogurt sauce. The following night I made Beef Currry. I slow cooked cubed beef in yogurt, tomato sauce and beef broth.

I made an authentic Indian bread called naan. These dishes may be a little out there for many of you, but if you have not tried Indian food I recommend trying it at least one time. You may be surprised ;-)!
