I know it is Tuesday already and I can’t believe it either.  Yesterday was quite a day let me tell you.  As you know, it is Spring and we had a big winter storm here. Grrrrr I know! It stinks.

All was not lost however, the day got better.  I was able to purchase two tickets for the U2 Concert in September which is super exciting. In addition to that, a while back I was part of the active living community at the office and yesterday they had a draw for all participants. Well, I was fortunate enough to win a one year gym membership at the University!  Maybe you’ll get to see buff zesty!

Now I bet you are wondering about the title of this post.  I do not consider myself a creator of authentic Indian cuisine and therefore do not want to come off as a Chicken Korma expert.  I just created a basic sauce with spices, tomato paste and coconut milk.

Happy Monday to you!  I hope you had a great weekend as I can honestly say I did!  It was nice to spend some time away form the computer and be outside for a change.  The weather, believe it or not, was quite nice.  The sun was shining and the temperature made it above freezing – Whooo Hoooo!

Today I wanted to feature another breakfast smoothie item I have been having as of late which includes a great combination of flavors.

What I have been trying to do lately is too cut down on the bad carbs throughout the day.  It would be nothing for me to eat 6-8 slices of bread per day.  Even though I usually pick whole wheat, it’s still a lot of bread.

So having a protein smoothie reduces my normal 4 slices of whole wheat bread breakfast to zero.  It is a work in progress but I’m attempting to focus on eating cleaner and cutting out such things as chocolate cake, banana walnut bread, and crispy peanut butter cookies.  But have no fear,  I will still bake!   Hopefully, however, I’ll refrain from eating the whole batch like I did with the Butterscotch blondies.  That was crazy (but so goood).

To help with the smoothies I  have been using my magic bullet – it is the perfect appliance for the job.  It’s so fast and easy to clean – highly recommended.
