White Chili Chili Bang Bang

While the husband busied himself with gadgetry tonight, I redeemed myself from last night's lukewarm Chicken Spanakopita burgers. Tonight was white chili using a recipe from Food Network's "Healthy Appetite with Ellie Krieger":

This was one of those recipes where we were literally licking our bowls clean. The only substitutions included more seasoning (I'm a firm believer in seasoning every layer of a dish) and I omitted the hominy, choosing to throw in a few tablespoons of flour instead to thicken up the broth (this is a very thin broth). It was a such a hit that my husband put aside the Tabasco sauce and ate it as is, a relatively huge accomplishment in our household. Don't overlook the lime and Greek yogurt at the end--it does add a delicious depth of flavor to the chili.

The chili was served with leftover "Greek salad" from last night's meal and a toasted kaiser roll.



For dessert, I sliced up a honeycrisp apple (the only apple in my book), added some chopped pistachios, and drizzled it all with honey. It appears the theme of tonight's meal was easy, healthy and tasty! It can be done!



On the menu tomorrow are leftovers, so look for some of our favorite recipes we have bookmarked in our plethora of cookbooks, including what we consider then end all, be all recipe for Shrimp and Grits!

And on a completely unrelated food topic:



SQUEEEEE!!! That is all.
