Good Chili Variation

We had this soup last night and it was delicious. I omitted the turkey and doubled the black beans (about 5 cups cooked, rinsed, and drained total). We also omitted the jalapeno because I didn't have one on hand. For the cheese we used cheddar but I think the Pepper-jack would be better although I don't think the soup really needs cheese so it could easily be made vegan and still taste good. The spinach was straight from our garden; so good!

Breakfast Burritos

Looking for a new breakfast idea? Try this! I don't really have a recipe but it is so easy to just toss things together. First, I sauteed about 1/4 cup of sliced onions (I used the little spring onions so they made very small slices) in about 2 Tbsp butter. When they were soft, I added 1/2 bunch of chopped chard (stems and all). Put the lid on the pan and allow the chard to wilt and the stems to soften. Then, add the eggs. I used 4 eggs and the same amount of milk as I would have to make scrambled eggs (about 1/4 cup), mixed them well in a bowl then poured the contents into the pan with the greens. Add salt and pepper. Cook as if you were making scrambled egg. Spoon the eggs onto four tortilla shells, sprinkle with cheese, wrap and eat. It was so good. The kids ate it for the most part. My step-daughter (who is generally not a fan of my anti-fast food cooking) ate it all but had a sour look on her face the whole time. My oldest son left a little pile of chard on his plate. And, my youngest devoured it as he does everything else.
