The recipe calls for one can of pinto beans but at the last minute I decided to add an additional can of black beans to boost the protein and fiber. There was just enough heat from the Chipotles to give this dish some kick without setting your mouth on fire! Cut back on the amount…
Soup/Stew/Chili
Three Sisters Harvest Stew & Baked Tortilla Chips
Here is how it looked without the salsa and chili powder added. In this state it was slightly sweet from the corn and squash and really a bowl of comfort food. Some Whole Grain Cornbread Muffins would go well with this dish if you include these in your food plan. Not Chef AJ’s Ultimate Weight Loss compliant…
Butternut Squash Soup
I almost missed this soup recipe in the new Eat To Live cookbook because it’s in the breakfast section! It’s on the sweet side of things so I guess someone thought it could be for breakfast – probably not in my house, but I can tell you that it’s wonderful for lunch. One of my…
Golden Austrian Cauliflower Cream Soup
We eat a lot of soup around here and I am always trying new recipes. If a soup recipe gets made again it has to be awesome and this Golden Austrian Cauliflower Cream Soup is just that – awesome. It’s another recipe that calls for carrot juice – the magical ingredient that makes things taste…
Winter Vegetable Soup
This is originally an Alton Brown recipe and trust me when I say this is a company worthy recipe. Butternut squash is every where right now so why not use some in a delicious vegetable soup. This makes a huge pot full of goodness so you can feed a crowd or freeze some for quick meals…
Curried Split Pea Soup / Pressure Cooker or Slow Cooker
Soup shows up on my menu year around and even more so when the weather gets cooler. There is something so satisfying and comforting about a bowl of steamy hot soup. This Curried Split Pea Soup has quickly become one of my favorites. In fact I have made it 4-5 times already but for various…
Portabella Mushroom Chili
We thought it was very good the first day. The second day it was awesome and it just kept getting better! Chef AJ said you can serve it over a baked potato or a grain if you wish. We had it as is and loved it! This is another recipe that can be made in…
Red Lentil Chili / Pressure Cooker / Slow Cooker
Although the weather doesn’t feel like fall around here I am so ready for some typical fall foods like this Red Lentil Chili by Chef AJ. Delicious healthy food can’t get any easier than this recipe! Everything is placed either in a pressure cooker or a slow cooker and then you just let the magic…
Butternut Squash & Bean Chili
We are at the tail end of the Winter Squash season but if you can find a butternut squash you need to make this soup. I was in Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods the other day and both still have butternut squash in stock. My daughter Katy made this recipe first and she said I needed…
Moroccan Chickpea Chili
This is more of a soup than a chili but whatever you choose to call it really doesn’t matter because what’s most important is that it tastes good! The fact that you get a large portion and it’s relatively low calorie but super filling is why I have made this twice in the past week….
