Hers and His : FallOctober 1st, 2013Read the rest of this article » That Time of Year : Homemade Chili and FootballSeptember 12th, 2013My favorite time of year is when football season begins. There is nothing I love more than brisk Sundays on the sofa watching football. And this has absolutely nothing to do with the actual sport itself (I will never forget the look on my father’s face when I asked if the Braves were a good football team), but rather that it heralds “chili season”. And I live for chili season. If I were honest about how much chili I consume in the fall and winter (and even in the sweltering heat of summer) it would be one humiliating admission. Truly, I would be a viable candidate if there were such a thing as a chili-dependency intervention. Growing up, my mother put chili over spaghetti which is a-mazing (ala Cincinnati institution Sky Line-style) but I am a bit of a puritan and prefer to skip the spaghetti altogether. And seeing how I eat alarming amounts of the stuff, I have, out of necessity, come up with a simple and über healthy recipe that is oh so delicious. And the little ones LOVE it. Like mother, like daughter. What you need:1 onion what to do with it :In a stock pot, sauté onions and garlic in good olive oil until translucent In a separate skillet cook the turkey until done and browned Serve topped off with grated cheddar, sour cream and green onion or chopped Italian parsley. modifications: Enjoy. |
