Ooohhh one of my favorites:

Cowboy Chili

Serves 8

Ingredients:

1 ¼ lb. ground turkey

1 15 oz. organic pinto beans

1 15 oz. organic red kidney beans

1 15 oz. organic black beans

1½ cup coffee*

3 T. chili powder*

1 can tomato paste

1 28 oz. can organic diced tomatoes

¼ c. Pace Picante sauce or salsa

* I use a combination of California chili powder, New Mexico chile powder and Chipotle chili powder

* Feel free to add any peppers to spice it up!

Directions:

1. Brown the ground turkey in a skillet, breaking up the meat into bite size pieces as it cooks. Drain off liquid or use a slotted spoon to transfer the ground turkey to your slow cooker. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes or add a few dashes of hot pepper sauce if you like your chili to have some heat.

2. Add the remaining ingredients. Stir to combine. Because of the sodium in canned beans, I don’t add salt and, especially where kids and special diets are concerned, I prefer to let diners add their own salt, pepper, and hot sauce.

3. Cook on low for at least 6-8 hours or longer. That’s it! Serve with your favorite chili condiments: shredded cheese, chopped onions, tortilla chips, crackers, and hot sauce.

Notes: Buy organic if you can. I find that canned organic beans have less sodium than other brands – don’t know why, but for example a can of a common grocery brand of pinto beans has 530 mg of sodium per ½ serving while the TJs brand organic pinto beans have 270 mg. of sodium per ½ cup serving.

Next ingredient: Parmesan cheese!

I've been making mine as above for more than 30 years. It's always a hit whenever I serve it or take it to a gathering.

Here's the recipe I found online, just slightly different but probably just as good.

Sesame Soy Green Beans

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil (I prefer toasted sesame oil)
1 pound fresh green beans, washed
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Directions:
Warm a large skillet or wok over medium heat. When the skillet is hot, pour in canola and sesame oils, then place whole green beans into the skillet. Stir the beans to coat with oil. Cook until the beans are bright green and slightly browned in spots, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in soy sauce; cover, and let sit about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

I use the frozen cook in bag green beans and microwave then put into fry pan. Cook beans to your desired doneness. I have also added a small can of mushrooms (drained and dried). Great side for meat and soooooo good!

Next ingredient: Bacon

People are persnickety about their lobster salad, and there are 2 different camps. I'm from the mayo camp. Use what you like.

Toasted Lobster BLT Sandwich

Ingredients:

Lobster 'salad', your favorite recipe

(I rough chop the lobster, and just add a little mayo, a squeeze of lemon, and a small amount of inner celery stalk, chopped fine)

potato bread, or bread of choice

additional mayo

thick-cut bacon

tomato slices

Boston lettuce, or Romaine leaves

Directions:

1. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-low to medium heat until desired crispness — drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

2. Butter one side of the bread, and in another skillet, or on a griddle, lay the bread, butter side down and toast until golden. Remove.

Assemble the sandwich.

3. Lightly slather the untoasted side of bread w/ mayo. Layer on the tomato first, followed by the lobster salad, then bacon, and finally the lettuce.

4. Top the sandwiches with the second slice of bread and serve immediately.

Next ingredient: vinegar, any type

most major brands now make no-salt-added canned beans as well as tomatoes if your store doesn't carry organic ones
