mmmmmm we just enjoyed this during the Vikings/Cowboy game.
2 slices center cut bacon
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup fat free chicken broth
1 can cannellini or great northern beans
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 TBS fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp hot sauce
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp crushed rosemary
Cook bacon until crisp, remove bacon and set aside. Add garlic to drippings in pan, cook 1 minute. Add broth and beans, bring to boil and then simmer for 10 minutes.
Combine bean mixture, bacon and remaining ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. (can reserve the bacon to chop and place on top too)
So good!

Spicy Chicken Stew
Hi. I'm back.
Back to healthy eating and healthy recipes. Also trying to keep the meals inexpensive. Today's recipe is from the new All You Eat Well, Save Big Cookbook.
2 baking potatoes, peeled and chunked
1 10z frozen corn
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chunked
1 onion, thickly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 12.5 oz jar salsa
2 tsp salt
1.5 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
.5 tsp pepper
1 skinless, boneless chicken breast
4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
2.5 cups chicken broth
Place potatoes, corn, celery, carrots, onion and garlic in slow cooker. Stir in salsa, salt, cumin, chili powder and pepper. Distribute chicken pieces on top of veggies and pout broth over chicken. Cook on high for 4 hours, low for 6. (My chicken is frozen, will be cooking on low for 8 hours)
When chicken is cooked, shred and stir into stew.
Can be served with corn tortillas strips (stirred in), or topped with any faves like cilantro, avocado, lime, sour cream....
As is the NI is 305/5/6 (serves 6) and according to AllYou $2.22 per serving. Not sure what my cost is... I had frozen chicken ready to use. Actually I had everything for this in my cupboards. I love that. Cheap easy meal.

Autumn Sausage & Veggie Melody
-5-6 chicken or turkey sausage links. (I used garlic and mozz flavored chicken sausages)
-1/2 package of mushrooms
-potatoes 1-2 medium brown ones or equivalent.
-few stalks of celery
-some baby carrots
-some brocolli
-some cauliflower
(the amount of veggies really doesn't matter, use what you have in the house.)
-2 cups chicken broth
The Directions:
Cut all veggies into 2 inch pieces. Layer in crockpot from denser to less dense veggies. Top with cut up sausage and pour broth over. Cook on low 8 hours, high on 4.
No spices needed, the spice from the sausage flavors the dish. So use your favorite spiced sausage.
ETA- DBF didn't like this, I loved it. The cooked cauliflower overtakes this, which DBF does not like. Next time I'll try different veggies.

4 lbs ribs

Yoga Checkin
I forgot to weigh in yesterday. I'm sure I'm up, I hate too much carp all weekend long.
I had my first Yoga class last night. I was hoping for a fun stretching/toning type class. Well we did do some... but it's more about relaxation and zen then I was hoping for. And I'm the youngest one there. A bunch of old folks... and me. I'll finish out this class, but not sure I will sign up for another session.
