I haven't been cooking much these days. When I got back from CA in May, I was having alot of back pain and just totally not in the mood. I have been trying to do a bit more this past week, but the beanette is due any day, and then I will probably be taking a break again. I was researching peanut butter recipes, and found a few to try. Sorry no pics as I am kindof lazy these days, but here is one from a couple days ago.
It didn't look as spiced up as most African chicken, but I thought Orion might like it, and he did eat a bit. Plus it was pretty easy. Ron loved it, but I thought it was a bit bland. It was really helped with a bit of salt and pepper. I also tossed in some frozen chopped spinach to add some greens to the mix. Oh, and I also made about 3 times what it says.
Easy African-Style Peanut Chicken
Ingredients

If you like African-style chicken, have you seen this African Chicken Stew? Chase loves it. I add a cup of frozen green peas at the same time as the chick peas to add a little green, but you could easily add spinach. I'm not a spicy girl, so I eliminate the cayenne. It is YUMMY and Chase likes it, too.
I'll be checking this blog a little more regularly - we've just started on a GFCF diet to try and clear Chase's eczema.
