Pumpkin Overload


photo & recipe from Serious Eats

I know I've been posting a ton about pumpkins, but I have one more recipe you MUST try. It's Pumpkin Turkey Chili and it is sooooooo good! I made it last night for dinner with some cornbread and loved it. One of my kids loved it, one of my kids thought it was too spicy, and one of my kids took a bite and threw up. Guess which one? Braden & I thought it was awesome though, and you can limit the spiciness by adding less or no cayenne pepper and cutting back on the chili powder. I thought it was perfect just the way it is, especially if you out a buttload of sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese in it. Mmmmmmm. And it doesn't taste pumpkin-y at all, it just adds a lot of thickness to the chili, and makes it rich and filling. AND the whole thing is super duper healthy. Great for flu season.




You can see a picture of mine on Twitter, and follow me through my day :)
