Chili Season
It's fall, and that means breaking out big batches of chili or soup around our place. Chili is wonderful because it's chock full of healthy veggies, legumes, and protein rich turkey (or beef) and can be topped with avocado, sour cream or yogurt, cheese, and cilantro. Ava loves to eat this recipe, but here's what's important to remember so kids aren't reeling from the heat of this recipe:
Whenever you make a super spicy recipe for the whole family, but want to take it down a notch for the little ones, either take out the spicy ingredients (red pepper flakes, serrano chili, etc.) or portion out a little for your little ones to a separate to another pan. Then you can add the adult ingredients and all can enjoy the same meal together- a sure fire way to increase success with any meal. Also, you may want to try spreading the leftovers over baked potatoes for a different meal.
Here's my recent favorite from allrecipes.com. Enjoy!
