Cooking with Karma

One of my favourite comfort foods is chicken pot pie, although it’s more pub fare than something I’d cook up in my own kitchen. It’s the pastry, once again. Sigh, the pastry. But then I saw Chatelaine has a solution for my lazy pastry.

This recipe calls for 40 cloves of garlic. Forty. And with all the winter germs that are lurking around, I figured a good hit of garlic couldn’t hurt.

Bring on the fresh ingredients, eating all meals at home, and quitting take-out (insert tear for Thai food cravings)!

I thought a test run of an app might be a good idea, and good thing I did. Also,, these meatballs are made with low-fat ground turkey breast – always a good option during this season of indulgence

Now I know many think pesto makes anything better, but I’m a little more “meh” about it. However, reading the recipe I saw that this was not your standard pesto: no basil or pine nuts to be found.
