Anna's Family Kitchen was inspired by my love of food and desire to feed my family healthy, home cooked wholesome meals that are beautifully presented and appealing but don’t require hours of prep in the kitchen.

Egg Fried Rice

Tray Baked Chicken Rogan Josh. Oh my, this was good. And this curry is a great one to make en masse so you have some extra meals for the freezer. Feel free to use breasts but chicken thighs will pull apart at the touch of a fork and they always freeze better. Don’t be put off by the long list of ingredients – most of them are whizzed into a paste. If you double the portion, use 1.5x the paste. Wilt in spinach at the at the end of you like. You could use frozen.
