Turkey Chili

Turkey Chili
I made this dish for Gideon because his mother's chili is his very favorite.  This chili didn't make the cut with Gideon.  He didn't like the beans and my pieces of red, green, and yellow pepper were not up to the same standard as his mother's recipe.  I thought this recipe was very good.  Even this recipe for two makes a lot of chili for two.  There was plenty of left overs for lunch.  

Chicken Chowder

Chicken Chowder
This was a repeat already.  I served this as for a family gathering last Sunday night.  It received "excellent" reviews from all.  The left-overs were even better.  I made Chicken Chowder a second time just for us.  Again it was a hit.  Ok, it starts with bacon!

Beef Chili with Bacon


Beef Chili with Bacon
"Excellent" rating from Rick and he doesn't even like chili, maybe it was the addition of the bacon.  This was a great meal for a cold and snowy day.  There are really no fancy ingredients in this recipe.  Four slices of bacon, ground beef, onions, peppers, a can of beans and a few spices made this an easy prep. However, do note that the simmer time on this recipe is a bit longer than other recipes in The Complete Cooking For Two Cookbook.  The soup needs to simmer over medium-low heat for 45 minutes.  I added some gluten free pasta, fresh avocado and a few chips to make lunch on this snowy day.
