Indian Feast Made Fast and Easy...and Cheap!!


Do you ever crave an Indian feast but not want to spend restaurant spices to get your fill?? Well I have got just the thing for you. Simmer Sauces! I am sure there are several out there, but these are the two brands I've tried from the International Aisle at Harris Teeter. They are near the Soy Sauce.




It is SOO easy to make a luscious Indian meal. Just grab these few ingredients below:



1) Simmer Sauce



2) Jasmine Rice (how is this rice so good??)



3) Your meat of choice! I went crazy last night and did a combo of chicken and shrimp.




Saute meat, add simmer sauce, and simmer until meat is done and rice is cooked! It's so easy and the finished product is a warm bowl of Indian delight.




Of course the above picture looks more like dog food than an Indian feast, but that's just because I'm too lazy to use my real camera and instead continue to take sub par quality pictures with my phone. That's why this sauce is so good for a lazy girl like me!

Make this tonight! You can make the whole jar, meat, and rice for about $10 and that makes 3 servings. Booya!

Cleaning wonder



If you ever clean - by choice or by profession...or because you only work 3 days a week and have no excuse not to :( - get this: Electrolux Ergorapido

This little bagless, cordless wonder is like sex on a stick.

It pivots like a dream and makes those "hard to reach" spots a total non-issue.

And the best part?! You just have to make sure it's charged up before you use it and then you have no pesky cords to mess up your vacuuming rhythm. Don't you just hate it when that happens?

If you are a mom or a friend of a new homeowner or renter, this would be a great Christmas present. Just do not, I repeat DO NOT, give this to your wife or girlfriend as a present. As a recent recipient of a baking sheet gift, I know the ill feeling you get when someone gives you a gift that screams, "Merry Christmas...Now cook me something."



My mom gave me this one and I love it. Just a little tip from my dirty floors to yours!
