The weather was a little crappy the last few days-- made me want something warm and hearty. That's the worst part of a normally wonderful season. It makes me crave thick, fatty goodness to keep me warm and able to "hibernate." So, after the cider mill with Amy, I decided to make some chili and apple crisp- *perfect* fall fare! Of course, I also made a point to work out (Wii Fit kicked my ass!) and take Daisy on 3- 20 minute walks so I can eat it all...!
Chili
2 lbs lean ground turkey (I used 93/7)
1 can kidney beans, rinsed
1 can black beans, rinsed
1 large can of diced tomatos
2 cloves garlic
1 small sweet onion
1/2 c water
chili powder and cayenne pepper to taste
**Makes 8 servings**
Brown meat, mix in crock pot for 4-6 hours. I added 1/4 c fat free shredded cheese and 2 tbs fat free sour cream. Total = 6 points
Apple Crisp
4 large apples (I used Pink Ladies)
1/2 c flour
5 tbs and 1 tsp Splenda brown sugar
1/3 c Country Crock light spread
1/2 c Quaker Oats
1 tbs lemon juice
1 tbs cinnamon, nutmeg
Peel and slice apples into chunks. Sprinkle in a sprayed pan, sprinkle lemon juice over apples. Mix the rest into a "crumble" and sprinkle over apples. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Points = 4 if it serves 6, 3 if you serve 8 people (and you can use Cool Whip Free 2 tbs for no extra points!)
