Stove top Spicy Vegetarian Chili

August 18, 2020 by Joel Leave a Comment

This Spicy Vegetarian Chili Stove Top is the type of recipe you want to work into your fall rotation. This chili warms you up and has a super protein punch from the mixture of red beans and great northern beans.

This meal is one will fill you up. It reminds me of the Frito pie I grew up eating during winter. Frito pie usually has meat in it and is a little bit thicker than this recipe. Joel didn’t seem to know what Frito Pie was, so maybe Frito Pie is a southern or South Texas thing. I would bet the Midwest has an equivalent. So let us know what it is in the comments!

Another perk to this meal is that it makes so many servings at a low cost. We can eat this for around 4 days. At a 1.67 a serving, this recipe will keep you warm and full without breaking the bank.

These are not the enchiladas I grew up with my mother making. Spinach and potato enchiladas are actually fairly healthy and won’t make you feel as guilty about having too many. They combine the usual spices into a tasty sauce with hearty potatoes and spinach with a healthy serving of cheese.

This spicy potato salad is a tasty spin on a summer classic. There are a few ingredients that really kick up the flavor: jalapeno, chili powder, and cumin. Potato salad to me a comfort food and very filling. It’s an awesome side dish to take with you to a picnic or family gathering, just remember to be safe and wear a mask. There is still a pandemic out there.

Grilled Salmon and Lemon Dill Salad

July 20, 2020 by Joel Leave a Comment

We’ve been focusing a lot on salads because of how versatile salads can be. I think Joel also enjoys proving me wrong, since for long I was anti-salad as an entrée. So far, each salad he’s been making pack in a lot of flavor. I think the thing that takes the grilled salmon and lemon dill salad from a side to an entrée is having protein and complex flavors. In this one the salmon is the protein, but the cashews bring the nutty flavor to contrast with the refreshing lemon.
