Hello Fall!!! I'm so in love with the weather right now and loving HARVEST TIME! My garden is in full force and I'm overeating all kind of amazing things like, tomatoes, swiss chard, zucchini, beets and carrots! We also enjoyed peaches and apples from the trees in our yard as well, although they need some serious grooming.
Above: These are our square foot gardens with tomatoes/zucchini/squash planted behind them straight in the ground. These gardens are so incredibly easy! As you can see, they are sectioned off into squares and I plant per square instead of in rows. This way of gardening has made life so much easier! Weeding is minimal and the weeds pull out quickly and easily.
I'm thrilled that as Fall sets in I am able to make soups, stews and chili's. There is nothing more comforting to me that having something like this for dinner! This Chili has been one of my favorites and I used to make it with Chicken, and I decided to try it without. Just as good! Yes! Hope you enjoy.
White Bean Chili
1 onion, chopped
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
1 heaping tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt or 2 tablespoons Liquid Aminos
1 small can diced green chile peppers
4-6 cups Great Northern Beans, cooked
(add as many beans as you'd like for thickness)
6 cups vegetable broth
Saute onion and garlic in a little water. Add cumin and saute for at least 1 minute. Keep a little moist with water. Add diced green chile peppers, beans, & vegetable broth. Season with a little salt or Liquid Aminos. Heat through and serve with chopped green onions, cilantro, salsa on top, or as seen above, hot sauce! It also makes a great dip for chips! Enjoy!
