I normally don’t declare recipes the best for just any reason. In fact, if I’m saying something is the BEST, then it’s for a very good reason. Most often because I had multiple people try out a recipe and tell me it’s the best thing they’ve ever tasted; this happens most frequently when I bake cookies.
Little did I expect this turkey chili to surprise me with it’s thick texture and addicting flavor. But my goodness, it is wonderful. And I do have to admit that I’ve made it four times in the past month. It’s one of those recipes you can tuck in your recipe box or bookmark on your phone. Honestly, I’m just obsessed.
For a little background, we’re really just doing this as a challenge to eat healthier and reset cravings. Often times I find us going out for pizza, french fries and beer. Not only is it a waste of money, but it isn’t a healthy habit when you do it too often. I also want to make sure that Tony understands what it means to nourish your body with GOOD, real food made from scratch.
Don’t worry, I’ll keep you posted as we continue along our journey. And as an FYI, the recipes coming your way for the next month were all previously tested and photographed, so please don’t think I’m just eating cookies and pies on my challenge. Although, that could be my next challenge?
