Yeahhhh…. so essentially total procrastination over here.
In other news, I’ve been really into making dinners lately. You probably wouldn’t have the ability to see that judging from all the baked goods I throw at you, but I must say i love cooking a wonderful meal for close friends and/or family.
Last week, I actually made this healthy turkey quinoa chili for Tony and his family. It’s loaded with protein, fiber and an incredible amount of flavor. On top of that this chili is certainly THICK! If you’d like you could use it being a chip drop, or put it over some nachos. I secretly love to make just a little chili nacho dish. Chips on underneath, chili at the top, plus greek yogurt, avocado, cilantro, etc. So excellent.
Another reason that I’m adoring this chili is the fact that it makes terrific leftovers. If you ask me, I always believe chili tastes better the next day after the tastes have had an opportunity to sit and meld jointly a bit.
You also could probably make this up in your slow cooker if you’d like to serve it for video game time or at a celebration. One does your thing!
One last quick note, this chili could be spicy if you’d like it to be – just add more chipotle peppers (you can usually find them within the Hispanic section at your neighborhood grocer). If you cannot think it is, several dashes of hot sauce will be delicious!
I hope you love this meal. I served mine with my scrumptious Honey Pumpkin Cornbread Muffins
