I Can Stand the Heat


So I haven't posted yet today because I have been cooking. I'm making one of the Engineers favorite dinners, and it takes a lot of simmering and adding this and that and generally keeps me busy for a few hours. Next time I will probably try something easier, that still tastes homemade. Saw this recipe for zesty minestrone on the Kraft Foods site (check the "health and home" resources). Looks like after a lot of chopping with the food processor, I could just turn on the slow cooker and go out shopping!

Speaking of recipes, have you tried this?

White Chili

1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cans northern beans, rinsed
1 can chicken broth
*2 cans chopped green chilies *(we only use one can)
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground cumino
1 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 cup sour cream
(optional: 1/2 cup whipped cream)

In a large saucepan, saute chicken, onion, and garlic powder in oil unitl chicken is no longer pink. Add beans, broth, chilies, and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream.

Enjoy.
