Chili with Ground Sausage

I have a hearty chili recipe for you today. Its supposed to get cool here tonight so I figured it would be a good time to make some chili. Soup, pumpkin spice lattes and Fall squash are all favorite Fall food items of mine.

How about mixing up the chili and adding sausage instead of beef? I’m telling ya, it’s pretty good.

I started out by chopping up a small onion and 3 garlic cloves.

Brown your sausage and add your onion and garlic once the sausage is almost cooked all the way.

Add the rest of your ingredients. I used my first jar of tomatoes that I canned this Summer!

Simmer for 30 minutes stirring occasionally.

Top it with cheddar and a dollop of Greek yogurt (or sour cream if you prefer)

Chili with ground sausage

1 Lb  Ground Sausage

1 Small Onion, chopped

3 Garlic cloves, minced

2 Cup Corn

1 Can Black Beans

1 Can Kidney Beans

1 6oz can Tomato Paste

1 Can whole tomatoes

1 8oz can tomato sauce

1 Tbs Cumin

1 Tsp, Oregano

1/2 Tsp. Chili Power (Plus more if you like a little more spice)

1/2 Cup Beef Broth

1. Brown your sausage. Once sausage is just about cooked all the way through add your onion and garlic. Cook until onions are cooked down.

You can brown your sausage all in the same pot you plan to cook the chili in.

I love Almond Butter

Hello again! It’s been a busy day for me today but it’s been a good food day. ;) The blender worked out a little better for me this morning. I guess it just needed a little using before I got used to it. I started today with an Energy Smoothie. It was really good. It was my first time trying the spice Cardamom. Energy Smoothie ½ C Almond Butter 1 Teaspoon Ground Cardamom 1 ½ C water 1 C Frozen Peaches 1 to 2 Teaspoons of Agave ½ C Ice I cut this recipe in half. The Cardamom was pretty noticeable. It’s hard to describe but it was a little like cinnamon. I loved the Almond butter. I tried a new brand this time. It was very creaming right out of the refrigerator. I drank most of the smoothie on my way to work. I was pretty hungry when I woke up this morning.  Lacey enjoyed the Mango Smoothe today. Isn't she cute! I had a cup of hot green tea about 8:30. It hit the spot! The smoothie held me over till about 11. When lunch time came around I was hungry. I had to take a quick lunch...

Soba Lo Mein

Is everyone ready for all the snow they say we are going to get tomorrow?  I hope this is the last of it. I’m ready for Spring! Flowers, bike riding, and walks in the park! Tonight I decided to use the Soba noodles I bought back when I couldn’t eat gluten. Soba noodles are made with 100% buckwheat flour and are gluten free. I’ve never tried them but I thought they would taste more like whole wheat noodles which I love. I decided to use my Chicken Lo Mein recipe without the chicken and with Soba instead of whole wheat. They didn’t taste quite like whole wheat noodles. They had the same texture but a really odd after taste. I think I stick to whole wheat from now on. You can make this Lo Mein with whatever noodles you prefer. The peanut sauce mixed with the soy sauce is so good!! I used the following ingredients.   I started out by sautéing some onions and a garlic clove in 2 tablespoons of toasted Asian sesame dressing. While you are cooking your noodles add in the ve...

It's a Mango day!

Hello all! I’m sorry I’m just now posting. I was planning on blogging my meals throughout the day today but that didn’t go as planned. I started the day off by getting up 10 min earlier than my normal day. Alarm went off at 5:20am! It was early and I wanted some coffee. But I settled for a cup up Organic Apple Red tea. It was pretty good and seemed to satisfy my cravings for a hot cup of something. The smoothie I decided to make this morning was the mango smoothie. I started blending it all up and made a huge mess. I think I need to get up an extra 5 min tomorrow. ;) Here are the ingredients: Mango Smoothie 1 ¼ Almond Milk ½ Coconut Water 2 leaves of Kale ¼ Avacado ½ Cup Frozen Mango chunks ½ Cup ice   if needed. I liked it! I think I could have blended it a little longer because I had some chunks of kale but I didn’t mind. It held me over till about 10am. I then decided to have a small handful of sunflower seeds/almonds. Noon! I was ready for lunch. I brought a salad with...
