Today's lunch and dinner. 11-25-2013

It's cold outside in Kentucky.  I woke up, did my stream, and just wanted something to warm me up and stick to ribs. 

I wanted chili.  I had a bowl, and missed the cheese and crackers, but outside of that, I dare anyone to fix this recipe and think it tastes any different than a meat based chili

Ingredient List

2 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
16 ounces of frozen veggie blend.  Supermarkets sell a frozen onion, celery and bell pepper mix.  Use this. 
12 ounces of Textured Vegetable Protein.  Crumble this stuff up good and you'll never know it's not ground beef. 
14 ounce can of diced tomatoes save the liquid.
15 ounce can Dark Kidney Bean drain and rinse, get all that nasty stuff off of there. 
15 ounce can Black Beans.  Drain and Rinse these guys as well.
1 ounce package low sodium chili seasoning mix. 

This took seriously 15 minutes to cook,

take the oil and the frozen veggies, put them in a large pot, over medium heat.  Cook these guys until they are tender.  when they are tender, add the TVP.  Crumble it up good!  Cook that until it browns, and get ready for the awesome parts!. 

By now your house smells amazing.  It smells like sweet onions and celery and peppers.  But you want it to smell better.  

Add those tomatoes!  stir it a bit, throw in those rinsed and drained beans!  Stir it a bit!  Add the chili seasoning mix, and stir it well enough to where it is properly blended! 

Bring that stuff to a boil!

Then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for ten minutes. 

Put this stuff in a bowl, take a spoon and put it in your facehole.  Get the itis, maybe take a nap after, wake up from post chili bliss and realize you have other stuff to do, get that stuff done, exercise and eat it again for dinner, when the sun goes down and it the winds are bitter (we're supposed to get like 2 inches of snow tonight.)  

There is like 262 calories in this recipe.  3 grams of fat, and enough protein to shake a stick at!
