Just wondering how your chili turned out the other night. Hope you enjoyed it and your hubby as well.

I did post in the thread you started, but wasn't sure if you saw it. I'm going to look into getting that cookbook the poster lolakimono (sp?) suggested.

Hope you're doing well.

I make a butt-burning chili that I can't even take one spoonful of! It has 10 cloves of garlic in it....and 6 Tablespoons of chili powder in it.

I'm told it's awesome. And the ""reports"" later in the evening suggest it as well....

Hi HisElk, I was going to post to you tonight because I thought you might be at work.

WE LOVED IT. It came out really good. After I took a couple of bites I forgot I was eating a meat substitute. My husband whose favorite dinner is a huge steak at Ruth Chris's really liked it a lot. He is not the type to lie to spare my feelings, if he doesn't like something he tells me.

We are going to use this with tacos next time.

Thanks so much for the recommendation, it was a winner for sure.

Serranos are hotter than jalapenos. I think jalapenos are about 2,500 on scoville scale and serranos start at about 5,000. They are good.

Wowza. And I thought my chili was butt-burning. Yours sounds like it is downright butt-blasting!

My husband wants to put ghost peppers in it. I like hot food but ghost peppers are ridiculous. They start at 855,000 and go past a million on the scoville scale. They used to be the hottest pepper in the world but now I think they are 3rd or 4th. I have never tried one but he has and loves them.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!! So glad to hear you both enjoyed it. And I hope if either of you didn't care for it, you would say so and not worry about upsetting me.

Trust me, if you liked it, you will love it with tacos. We had them last night and they are so good. I'm trying to lose some weight since I've gained some back (grrrrrrr), and with these, it's hard to eat just one.

I'm so glad you enjoyed them. I also posted on your thread about the book that lolakimono recommended. The author is very intelligent and she used to play as "Blossom" and was in the Beaches move and played the young "CC Bloom". Hope you get a chance to read it.

If I didn't care for it I would definitely tell you. I am just so glad you told me about these because it really gives me a lot more meal options. I took some to work with me yesterday and one of my friends tried some and she really liked it too. I didn't feel disgusted while eating for once. I am so glad you told me about this and I cannot wait for tacos. Tonight I am making a vegetarian sandwich with Portobello mushrooms, red onions, roasted red peppers, asparagus and jalapeno jack cheese on like a Cuban bread Panini. I roasted all the veggies in the oven with a little oil, sea salt and garlic prior to building the paninis. Thanks again HisElk!!

That was funny Croemer. My husband is a freak of nature and can eat ghost peppers like I eat pepperchinis. I could never eat one of those.

Re: Paging Irshgrl

Oh, that sounds wonderful. Let me know how you like it as I am interested in trying that one myself. DH is so much more into cooking than I am and he likes trying new recipes. Please post and let me know, ok?

I sure will let you know, I had something similar and a restaurant and wanted to try to do it myself. I will let you know about the tacos too, do you just add taco like seasoning to the crumbles to make yours?

Yes, just mix in the taco seasoning mix to the crumbles. We get the whole wheat soft taco shells but you can also use the 'crunchy' ones if you like. We add the romaine lettuce and other green leafy veggies, along with fresh chopped tomatoes, some salsa (we get the medium spicy) along with some cheddar cheese and light sour cream (I don't use much). If you want extra spicy, we add some jalapenos.

Again let me know how you liked the veggie sandwich. Thanks for sharing.

Irshgrl31201 — Fri, 07 Mar 2014 04:24:14 GMT

Hey HisElk, I just wanted to let you know about my veggie sandwich I made last night. I sliced up portabello mushrooms, thick slices of red onions, asparagus, red peppers and tomatoes and I put them in the oven with a little olive oil, sea salt, pepper and chopped garlic and roasted all of them. Then I took some Cuban bread and brushed the inside with a little homemade Italian dressing. I assembled the sandwiches with a little bit of pepper jack cheese and cooked on a Panini press. I took some of the Italian dressing and put it in a ramekin for dipping. We had the sandwiches with some quinoa and spinach sautéed in a little bit of butter, olive oil, salt and pepper. The sandwich came out SO great. I just loved it. My daughter and son in law ate over here last night and they really raved about it. My daughter is the type that has to have some sort of meat for dinner or else she complains that she is hungry in no time. She said that wasn't the case and they both really went on and on about how good it was. I got the idea for the sandwich from a restaurant called Bahama Breeze that I go to once in a while. It was better than the one I had there.

I am just a huge fan of roasting vegetables, it just brings out the best flavors IMO. I cooked the quinoa and then added black beans, diced tomatoes, garlic, sea salt, cilantro, squeezed lemon and added the zest. I love it like that. It is so flavorful. In the morning I also eat quinoa with yogurt and fruit. I didn't mean that I add the quinoa with the beans, lemon and cilantro to yogurt and fruit just the plain quinoa (cooked with lemons in the water) fruit and yogurt. Lol... didn't want to confuse you.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how that came out. Hope you had a great day today and it is warming up in your area. It is supposed to be in the 60's here this weekend.

Take care!
