Chutney Sounds Like a Stripper Name

Just as predicted – dinner, tv, workout, cleaning.  Actually, no technical workout, but the husband and I did take a 2nd walk.  It is definitely long past time to get in an official sweat session.  The past week has been filled with walking (enough to consider exercise) but I’d like to ramp it up a bit.

Dinner took leftovers and turned them into something beautiful.

The 2nd half of my curried chickpea and potato burrito was a little soggy, but otherwise none the worse for the wear.

And it took me all of 5minutes to saute some frozen veggies; okra, corn, and green beans.  I’m from the school of thought that nothing doesn’t go with a sprinkle of salt and spicy paprika.

A healthy, easy, tasty dinner.

Improved exponentially by the addition of chutney, the one must-have on my grocery list today.

FYI – chutney is a stewed fruit spread common in Caribbean cuisine.  I’ve seen it made with mangos, cilantro, and apricots, and (in my opinion) the tastiest varieties always involve tamarind.

During the tv portion of the evening (“Rizzoli and Isles,” I’m becoming a fan, I think) I also had a bowl of popcorn.

Today was the husband’s 1st day back to school (um, *good luck!* belatedly) so we are trying to turn in early so we can attempt to establish some sort of healthy sleep pattern.  Goodnight all!

Have you ever tried chutney?

  1. Haha, your title made me laugh so hard. I have had mango chutney with naan when eating indian food and I LOVED it, but haven’t had it since. Thanks for the reminder!
