White chili

Hey guys, I thought I'd pass on two of my favorite recipes that I can eat and that Miles and Elisabeth love as well.

Both are fairly simply simple and soul satisfying!

White Chili

In a large pot, bring to boil:

3 cans of great northern bean

1 can Chicken broth-or chicken bullion and water to equal 2 cups

While that is cooking:

Brown 1 lb of chicken breast with

1/2 tsp garlic powder, salt, pepper and onion powder to taste

Once pot is boiling, add browned chicken and

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp oregano

1 tsp black pepper

salt(optional)

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1 can green chilies if desired

1 can corn

Let simmer 25-35 minutes uncovered. Serve with cheese and tortillas chips. It's great like taco soup--guacamole, sour cream and all the trimmings! I've cut out all of the good extras from my diet-except baked tortillas chips and the guacamole! This is super yummy!

La pasta d' Lueas

1 clove garlic minced

1/2 onion, minced

veggies--zuchinni-portabello mushrooms-spinach, use anything you like!

1/2 lb of meat-beef, chicken or pork in any form, ground or chunks

5 tomatoes-roma are best, diced-or 1 large can of diced tomatoes

1 can of tomato sauce

In large dutch oven, saute onion and garlic in olive oil. Add veggies. Brown the meat in 1 TBS of Italian seasonings and 1 TBS of basil. Add meat to veggies. Add tomatoes and sauce. Add more seasonings if desired and salt to taste. Let simmer until thick.

Prepare favorite pasta and toss with tomato sauce. Serve!

I have rarely used pasta--we eat it with a spaghetti squash, and I can't tell the difference! I also didn't like pasta growing up until I found this recipe. Experiment and let me know what everyone uses!
