Turkey Bean Chili

Dave found this recipe for a healthy chili, and so I decided to try making it. It was very easy, although I did cut the recipe in half. I took pictures through the cooking process so that you could see just how yummy, and easy it is!!

First: I cooked 1 lb ground turkey with 1 green pepper and 1/2 onion (I don't like a lot of onion so I only used half, you can use all you want). When the meat is no longer pink, drain and pour into soup pot.

Second: I added to the meat 1 can (15 oz) pinto beans, 1 can (15 oz) black beans, 1 can (15 oz) chili beans, and 1 can (28 oz) diced tomato-all with their juices. I also added 1/8 tsp Cayenne Pepper, 1/2 tsp ground Cumin, and 1/2 tsp Chili Powder. Bring it to a boil, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

Third: Serve as soup with cheese and sour cream or as a nice chip dip! And Enjoy!

Life passing by...

I haven't blogged in awhile, so I thought I would just say something. Life seems to be going by very fast lately. I think its because we do the same things over and over every week, and there is rarely something out of the ordinary, except my kids of course. They are always testing me, making me smile, and just being plain cute!!! I love being a mom, most days, when the kids are actually getting along and being civil with each other. Then we have days where they just fight non-stop, and half the time they do it just get the other one to scream and get mad. WHY? I don't understand these days, but we get through them. Luckily, I have the BEST husband in the world. When he gets home from work on the bad days, he will give me a break, and just take over for the night. Its so nice to have someone that understands when I need to just go in another room for awhile and be by myself!! I really am a lucky girl to have such a wonderful husband, and 2 amazing kids!!

Lets just hope that March is full of sunshine, and happy kids!! :)
