It’s true Team Quilter Butt, and I get the email daily. I managed about 2 days this week. I have no excuse except, Labor Day, sewing, and getting the kid off to school this week. But what’s a 1/2 hour a day? I’m spending half of that on the computer writing this.
We’ve logged 337 miles? Still walking backwards I guess. We’ve cut off added individuals, since it seems to be adjusting for some reason. We’ll see what happens next week. Has anyone taken notice of the bad photos on the site?
So today I will take a bit of my own advice and “stop thinking about it and just do it.”
Right after I give myself a chance to digest this:
Green Chicken Chili:
You need to chop a few things, but nothing else beyond putting it in the pot and turning on the heat required. There is always plenty to freeze.
- ::INGREDIENTS::
1 roasted chicken/turkey from your favorite store or home, shredded
1 jar Mrs. Renfro’s green salsa (Safeway or Fred Myer carries it here) or Jalapeno salsa substitute.
1 28-oz can chopped tomatoes
1 quart chicken broth
1 deli style fresh salsa (you know the chunky uncooked kind), or use some cooked.
2 Tbsp. ground cumin
1 can chopped green chilis
2 or more carrots, sliced in moons
2 or more stalks celery, chopped
1 or more colorful peppers, chopped
1 small onion, chopped (this can be omitted if salsa has lots of onions)
2 cans rinsed white, black or pinto beans (I use on of each)
1 cup corn
*Put it all in a pot and cook on medium until carrots are tender. You can saute the veggies first if you want in some olive oil, but it’s not necessary.
*Serve with chips, sour cream, avocado, chopped cilantro, or cheese…of course in my house you also have a refreshing beer.
Happy Weekend!
I know how you feel! I started working again on Wednesday, and Wednesday and Thursday I had to take a car to the shop and pick it up again, and Wednesday and Thursday are my evenings where I have church band practice and then Bible study…this morning was my first day working out since Monday and Tuesday!
Oh, and maybe instead of going backwards, we make it through the whole country and back again to the beginning? It’s probably wishful thinking, but hey…it could happen, right?
I didn’t even attempt it – but my butt is getting bigger i think 🙂 That’s ok – soccer season starts on Sunday and I’ll be wishing I had done something all these weeks and hoping not to die of a heart attack on the field 🙂 Better stock up on some beer for after the game!
And that chili sounds delicious!
Must make that chili! Looks and sounds so good. Thanks for the recipe!
I’m so looking forward to soup weather again! Here in SC, it’s still in the 90’s everyday. Ah!
I’ll add a CHEATER for the chili – Trader Joe’s makes a Mirepoix (chopped celery, onion, carrots) that would cut down on the chopping.
…and I have to admit, I’ve not entered my ‘exercise’ – bummer, I’ll log in now.
You may also enjoy adding roasted tomatillos in your green chicken chili : )
Um, that looks fabulous. I always forget to log my miles. I’ll go do it.
Oooo… I’m totally making this chili! I get to log miles again. I’ll go there right now. Maybe everythings all messed up (counting wise) because I dropped out for about 6 weeks! Hee hee. Just kidding. I’m not that self-centered.
