[turkey chili]



Winter is definitely soup and chili season, but also weight gain season. In an effort to enjoy all those delicious foods but not gain the weight, I'm taking on some of my favorite meals and trying a healthy twist on them. I've got a whole 'clean eating' board on Pinterest, to pull ideas from. This one is basically my spin on this Turkey Chili recipe I found. 

The process is actually really simple, only taking a little over an hour to have this dish ready to serve and eat! I made it on a sauce pan, because I don't have a crock pot or slow cooker, but that would probably work too. Here's a step-by-step look at the process. 


My ingredients: I bought the turkey specifically for this, but surprisingly I had the rest in my kitchen! I used 1 can of kidney beans, 2 cans of diced tomatoes (next time I plan to use fresh tomatoes), 1 onion, 6 cloves of garlic, 1 green bell pepper, some oregano, chili powder, and cayenne pepper.


Step 1: Sauté the chopped garlic and onions. 


Step 2: Add meat til it browns, then add the rest of the ingredients and stir. 


Step 3: Stir every 10-15 minutes for an hour and voila! It's ready!

Enjoy!

[new favorite snack]

So, we all know I'm trying to steer clear of carbs. That being said, I get some really intense cravings and munchies fairly often, and let's be honest: popcorn gets boring really quickly. We've all seen the baked chickpeas recipes on Pinterest, so I finally gave them a try! 

This is what I used:

Mixed with some olive oil and all purpose seasoning.

Spread over an aluminum foil-covered baking sheet.

Bake for about 30 minutes at 400 degrees.

 DONE!
