          Ever since my grandmother heard that I liked cooking, she got me a subscription to the bon appetit magazine for Christmas.  I didn't really want it because I knew I would have no time to read it.  One day, after picking up the mail, I saw the little magazine poking out beneath the letters.  I immediately gave it to my mom who, upon further inspection, showed me a recipe that looked like something I could do.  Here's the recipe: http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/parmesan-chicken-with-caesar-roasted-romaine.

I added some potatoes to counteract the saltiness of the chicken and lettuce.  Here's a good recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/rosemary-roasted-potatoes-recipe/index.html

Indian-Tandoori Chicken and Naan

         So I decided to start with Indian food because I found a box of Tandoori chicken sauce mix in my pantry.  I also had a recipe of Naan that I wanted to try out.

Here are the recipes:

 I decided to halve the recipes since I was only cooking for my mom and I.

Adding cumin to the naan really added more flavor.  

Serve it with some salad and yogurt if you don't like spiciness

Fortunately for me, I love spicy food even if I can't handle it that well.  When I was making the sauce that was put on the chicken, I ended up putting the whole spice packet instead of half of it because I forgot that I halved the recipe.  This turned out delicious despite the mistake.
