Here’s tonights dinner recipes as requested by @BrianBreslin.

Curried Spinach

This one took a little while compared to the other two so I would start this dish first while working on the other 2 when you get a few minute in between.

Olive oil in a saucepan, add a diced white onion, a diced tomato and 1 or 2 garlic cloves minced.

Season with a teaspoon and a half of curry (any flavor really), a teaspoon and a half of turmeric and half a teaspoon of cumin and let it cook for a few minutes.

Add 2 bags of rinsed and drained, chopped spinach. Pour in a can of light coconut milk (healthier than cream believe it or not!) Let it cook for about 5 minutes.

Add a can of drained chickpeas, season w/ salt and pepper and your done!

Thai Cucumber Salad

Peel and slice a cucumber and plate. Top it with half a red onion sliced as well and topped with red chili or jalapeño for some kick.

Make a dressing of water, vinegar, sugar and salt and pour on top of your salad chill in the fridge ’till ready.

Goat Cheese Corn Quesadilla

Cook 1 cup  of corn (I nuked it for 90 seconds) and mix in a bowl with 2 oz. goat cheese and 2 scallions chopped. Add a little salt & pepper and stuff 2 corn tortillas and grill. Done and delicious.

Whole thing took 35 minutes and feeds four hungry people.
