Easy Curry Dinner

I'm always on the look out for easy, gluten-free dinner recipes.  I love curry and nothing is easier than Patak's curry in a jar.  I get it from Target, but I'm sure it's available at other stores.  I combine with chicken and veggies (peppers, onions, mushrooms) and a little rice and that's it.  Plus there's always leftovers.

Holiday Recipe: Cranberry Compote

With the holiday season upon us, I would like to share a crowd pleasing, gluten-free cranberry dish.  I brought it to my Thanksgiving celebration and it was a huge hit.  


24 oz. fresh cranberries
Finely grated zest of one lemon and one orange
2 cups of sugar
1/2 cup of orange juice


Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine zest, berries and sugar in a bowl.  Put in baking dish.
Drizzle with oj.
Bake 30 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved and the majority of berries have popped.  Stir occasionally.
