This easy, quick, hearty one pot meal hit the spot tonight. I made it extra mild for our guests, but if was just Shaun and I, I would have added a chile in adobo or two and some cayenne pepper. Sorry for the somewhat blurry photo. Our ...

I made my usual beef and bean burritos with ground chicken, and it turned out quite well. The lighter meat worked quite nicely with the spices.

This is a quick and easy meal that uses leftover chicken. I used meat leftover from my beer braised chicken (about half a chicken's worth). You could grill up a pound of skinless boneless thighs or breast and chop it up if you don't happen to have leftovers ...

This is a variant of my chili that uses ground turkey instead of ground beef. It's a little bit healthier without sacrificing any flavor or heartiness. It was a great meal for a chilly November evening.

This is a take-off from my ham and black bean soup. It's a lovely warming stew for a drizzly fall evening - warming with both the temperature and the spice :-) We both really enjoyed this, and it'll definitely make some repeat appearances throughout the fall ...

This is another variation of my usual chili recipe, this time using skirt steak instead of ground beef. The chunks of beef were a great addition, and something I'll definitely do again, but something about this bean combination was just a bit off, so I'll try something different next ...
