Mmmm Mmm good!

Eating healthy and dieting means I get to try new recipes.
Lawschoolgonnabe and I had a girls night last night. We made yummy drinks, discovered that even though we may like the olives alot, we do not like martini's. We watched movies. Fight Club was my choice, lsgb liked it, which made me happy. Then we watched her choice, Cruel Intentions, it made me happy too. Then we watched Mr. Brooks. Good movie as well. We also made yummy food.
Here's the recipe from last night:

Thai noodles with Spicy Chicken
thin rice stick noodles
cut-up chicken
brocolli
green peppers
onion
mushrooms
1/3 c. chicken broth
3 tbsp Asian Fish Sauce or soy sauce (we used the soy, makes for a bit less spicy)
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp red curry paste
2 tsp. packed brown sugar

Place noodles in a large bowl of boiling water. Let stand until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain and transer to serving bowl.
Cook chicken in large skillet. Transfer to a plate.
Add vegetables and broth to skillet. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. STir in fish sauce, lime juice, curry paste and brown sugar. Add chicken and cook, stiring until heated through, about 1 minute.
Top noodles with vegetable, chicken miz. Enjoy!

I'd never had curry before, and I actually enjoyed it. This wasn't too spicy at all.

Tonight's dinner was a made up one on my part.

Chicken breast(s)
tomato
mushroom
peppers
onion

Chop up the veggies, throw in on top of chicken breast in an inch or two of water. Add clove of garlic, salt, pepper, basil and oregano. Serve with rice or potato!
It's quite yummy and smells particularly good while it cooks!
