I just tried to make a chili with chicken breast and it didn't come out too bad, but it really wasn't chili. I used pinto and red beans in it, along with some spanish rice, and my regular chili spices. How do you make yours?
It's an ancient Chinese secret!
JK, I know a lot of people are secretive about their chili recipe but I don't care. Mine isn't any award winner. Its just falls into, what I'm allowed to have in my stupid diet. Usually I'll chop up baby carrots and roast them in the air fryer until they're almost black then stir them into the chili after it's done. I didn't do that this last time because I plan on making my ho-made cajun roasted carrot hummus this weekend.

1 Tbs olive oil
2 lbs ground turkey
1 can kidney beans (drained)
1 can black beans (drained)
2 cans no-salt-added diced tomatoes
1 Lg onion (chopped)

1 Tbs black pepper
1 Tbs paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 Tbs +/- sugar
3 Tbs cornstarch
1/2 cup water
8 oz bag baby carrots (chopped)
1/2 Tbs salt would be about right if you wanted to add it to the chili. It would taste better...

This morning, I continued with another high sodium meal. I think I can eat this for every meal forever.
replace that bagel with a whole grain bagel and use turkey bacon, butter the bagel with 'I can't believe it's not butter' instead of ketchup and I'd eat the hell out of it.
I just can't eat eggs often. usually when I do, I make omelets on the day I plan on making ho-made pizza for dinner because they share the same ingredients; turkey sausage, turkey bacon, mushrooms, onions, green peppers. the pizzas I make on califlour crusts, use low-moisture mozzarella and a ho-made salt-free pizza sauce that still needs some tweaking to be better.
why do I feel like i joined a food forum and not an RC forum?
