Jerry went grocery shopping while I did a workout on the elliptical machine.
And then he cooked dinner while I sat on the couch with a cold beverage and watched House Hunters.
I wasn't even angry when I saw the receipt from the grocery store and realized he went over budget.
I am one luck y girl |
Jerry made Indiana Chili for dinner.
You may remember that I made a meatless version of this back in September. This time we used ground turkey.
Indiana Chili
Makes 6 servings
- 20 oz package of lean ground turkey
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 jalapeno, chopped
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 1 large green pepper, chopped
- 28 oz can of petite diced tomatoes
- 1 1/2 cups frozen corn
- 15.5 oz can small white beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 Tbls chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- juice of half a lime
Top with grated cheese, onions, avocado, hot sauce, tortilla chips, etc.
Alternatives:
The original recipe omits the garlic, onion, and pepper and uses a small can of diced tomatoes. You would use a jar of your favorite salsa as a replacement.
You can make Easy Vegetarian Chili by using tempeh instead of turkey.
Jerry thought the flavor of the chili was a little bland.
I suggested adding a 1/4 cup of tomato paste, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika and 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder.
The tomato paste gave it a nice rich flavor, and the spices add a smoky flavor and a kick of heat.
Perfect topped with pepper jack cheese and a squeeze of lime.
Jerry even did the dishes after dinner.
I could get used to this :)
