This might be the ugliest dish I’ve shared with y’all to date.
It might not be pretty, but I can promise y’all that it’s delicious… and really, that’s all that matters. (Says the girl who was weirdly selective of cookies and every other food when she was a kid because I only wanted to eat pretty things. I know. Good thing I grew up and realized that beauty had nothing to do with taste, right?)
My mom makes AMAZING peanut butter balls every holiday season. I request them as much as I can even when it’s not the Holidays. But, boy, do they do a number on the calories. So I took it upon myself to figure out a low carb version
Few things are better than a homemade dinner, particularly one that you know is wholesome and can be counted on for leftovers. Roasted chicken with vegetables is one of my favorite meals to make because I know I can stretch it. Call me a dinner time hacker but I love it when I can make meals go further, stretching my dollars and my time. Chicken enchiladas with the leftover chicken meat, topping salads with leftover veggies, and creating a sort of liquid gold known as bone broth (or homemade chicken stock) are some of favorite ways to use leftovers from this meal. My favorite bone broth recipe can be found here.
Not to toot my own horn, but I make a really good chili (toot! toot!). But I never gave it any additions – no noodles, especially no beans. It just wasn’t my preference.
To me, basically chili is a good sauce and some ground beef. From there you can add whatever you would like to the top – sour cream, onions, crackers, cheese, the lists go on and on. But I’ve always wanted to enhance those flavors.
