Chasing truth, beauty, goodness, and all things naturally wholistic.

Faith over fear.

Ephesians 2:8-10

 

I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart since 2003. Together, we have four amazing children, by birth and adoption. When I am not homeschooling my favorite students, I spend my days on our 7-acre property where I try my best to love my family well and experiment with hobby homesteading. My favorite things to do are cultivate my ever-expanding gardens, wrangle chickens, ferment all the things, sourdough bake with einkorn flour, and figure out new ways to use herbal remedies and essential oils. I believe God has tasked us to be good stewards of our spaces in the world, and I guide my children to do the same.


I am a board member of The Sparrow Fund and an Empowered to Connect Facilitator. I love to dig in the dirt, cook nourishing food, capture beauty through my camera lens, watch the sunrise on the beach, and spend time with good literature on my porch while sipping on a hot cup of coffee.

Slow Cooker Basil Coconut Curry Chicken

Jump to recipe

I am clearly on a slow cooker kick as of late.  It must be the cooler weather coupled with the (much) busier homeschool schedule, because I’ve been using my stoneware crock pot more often recently! It makes life so much easier when I’m not home at the time I’d normally be making dinner. We still get to enjoy a hot, nutritious meal in the evening even though we’re walking in the door at dinnertime.

This Basil Coconut Curry Chicken is a new favorite in our house! It is packed with an incredible amount of flavor and yumminess. And on top of that, it’s another meal that I consider a “dump” recipe – one that I can dump into the crock pot and let it go. It’s enjoyed by everyone, and even gets the kids to ask for seconds! It’s perfect when served with rice and a side veggie. So fulfilling and healthy! It’s gluten- and dairy-free, and I consider the ingredients to be clean foods (save the canned coconut milk) – ones that are fresh and/or minimally processed.

I serve this over white jasmine or brown rice, but this Basil Coconut Curry Chicken would also be delicious served over riced cauliflower or spaghetti squash too. Or perhaps rolled up in a tortilla?  So many good possibilities! I adapted my recipe from one I found on Pinterest after omitting a few steps and ingredients to make the preparation easier.

Total sidebar – if your family eats a lot of rice, you need this Buffalo Rice Cooker in your kitchen toolbox! I searched high and low after using a hand-me-down Zojirushi for years, because the non-stick lining that’s in basically all rice cookers was freaking me out. The Buffalo is a winner because it cooks rice perfectly and has a stainless steel bowl!
