"pumpkin chili"

I was an okay student.  If I really put my mind to something, like a project, I would give it 110%.  Daily homework however, hardly happened, or maybe happened the morning it was due.  I think I graduated high school with a 2.9 – enough to get me into college, but probably barely. Which is why I don’t know where my daughter gets her school...

I know pumpkin chicken chili sounds weird, but this is an amazing chili. My friend Ally (here is here blog!) recently came out with an eCookbook and I immediately bought it.  She had a recipe for a beef pumpkin chili and since I was using stuff I had on hand, subbed in ground chicken for the beef.  I grind my own chicken though!

Saturday night we smoked a turkey breast – I seasoned it with fresh rosemary, lemons, olive oil and salt and pepper – it took...

Happy Sunday everyone!  Hope you all are enjoying your weekend so far.  It’s a rest day exercise wise for me, but I do plan on taking advantage of our 60 degree weather today and take a long walk.  😀  I am definitely starting to feel sore from the strength training, which is a good thing! I did lat pulls at 40 pounds yesterday, lunges (which...

I am determined not to have a gain this week – still can’t wrap my brain around a 4.2 gain last week, and while I am looking foward, it still sneaks up on me and I keep trying to bat it away but the +4.2 keeps rattling in my brain.  Hopefully it will shut up soon. 😀 So after I blogged yesterday morning I went...
