WIAW

Welcome to another WIAW inspired by Jenn at Peas and Crayons.

Yesterday morning I made Gina's Pumpkin Banana Smoothie from Running to the Kitchen. It was so delicious and just screamed fall which was perfect for a cool crisp morning.

 

Lunch yesterday was leftover chili that I made on Sunday, I think it taste even better a few days later because all the ingredients get to sit and blend together. I ate my chili with some whole grain scoops, yummy!

After work I headed to the gym for a great strength training session with Keri, so needless to say I was starving when I got home. I decided to make some burritos for Joe and I which was a new recipe for me. I cut the chicken into bite size pieces and cooked that along with peppers and onions in a pot with a little chicken stock. I spiced the dish up with the spices from McCormick Recipe Inspirations, Spanish Chicken Skillet. Once the chicken was cooked I took some of that and Uncle Ben's 90 second brown rice and added that to a tortilla with guacamole, shredded Mexican cheese and salsa. This was better than expected!

Turkey Chili

Well I knew it was a Sunday in the fall when football was on tv and chili was cooking. It has gotten chilly here in Boston over the past week so I was in need of some warm comfort food.

Ingredients:
1 package 99% ground turkey meat

4 cans stewed tomatoes 15 oz. crushed with hands

2 kidney beans 15 oz. drained

2 tsp. tomato paste

¾ cup chicken stock

2 cups chopped onion

4 garlic cloves, chopped

1 cup chopped green pepper

Olive oil to taste

2-4 tbl Chili powder

2 tbl ground cumin

2 tbl red pepper flakes

1 tsp dried oregano

First you must brown the turkey in a pan and since I try to not use too much oil I coat the pan with chicken stock instead. Cook the turkey until it is fully cooked and slightly browned.

As that is cooking, in a stock pot place the peppers and onions and cook until tender.

Then add the garlic, chili powder, cumin and red pepper flakes stir to combine.

Add tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken stock, beans, oregano and cooked turkey meat. Bring to a boil and let simmer uncovered for about a half hour to an hour.
