Easy weeknight chili / Back to business

Wow.  I knew it had been a while since I'd posted anything, but... November 2011?  Almost one year?  That's way too long.

So I'm here with a kind of boring post, but with a commitment to post more often...I swear!

E left for London today, and it's kind of a rainy, gray and drizzly day, so I wanted to eat something tasty and comforting, but which was healthy and didn't take too long to cook.  So...scanning the fridge, I found some ground turkey breast, fresh carrots and onions from the farmer's market.  At first I thought I'd make a Shepherd's Pie, but realized I didn't have any eggs...so, I'll have to make that another night.

What I did have on hand were some black beans and kidney beans, and some tomato sauce  - so chili it was!  This went from pantry to table in about half an hour, including hands-off simmering time.  I served it over steamed butternut squash, but it would go great with steamed brown rice, or over a baked white or sweet potato.  Because I used only cooking spray there's no added fat, so the recipe is full of protein, fiber, and vitamins - you can up the vitamin and fiber content by throwing in some canned pumpkin puree.  YUM.

OK, on to the recipe:

Easy weeknight chili
Serves 4-6

Ingredients
1 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 carrot, peeled and diced
Salt and pepper
1 lb. ground turkey or turkey breast
1 15 oz. can kidney beans, drained
1 15 oz. can black beans, drained
1 15 oz. can tomato sauce
1 T. chili powder (I used Penzeys Chili 9000)
1/2 t. ground chipotle pepper

Directions
1.  Heat a large skillet or medium saucepan over medium-high heat.  Coat pan with cooking spray, and add onions, garlic, and carrot.  Saute until soft, being careful to stir frequently so that nothing sticks (add more cooking spray if needed).  Season with salt and pepper
2.  Add turkey, and break it up, stirring frequently so that the meat cooks and crumbles
3.  Add beans, tomato sauce, and spices and stir to combine; add a little water if needed.
4.  Cover and simmer on medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes until heated through.  The longer this cooks the better the flavors will blend
5.  Serve over steamed brown rice, steamed butternut squash, or baked potato and enjoy!  Top with sour cream or plain yogurt if desired.

TIP - you could add some canned pumpkin puree to this either in addition to the tomato sauce or in place of part of it; that would add some extra fiber and nutrients, and who couldn't use some of that!

  68. Unraveling the Potential of Test Banks: Your Ultimate Study Companion

    In the fast-paced world of academia, students are always seeking innovative ways to enhance their learning experience and achieve academic excellence. Amidst the myriad of study aids available, one resource often hailed as a game-changer is the test bank. Far more than just a collection of exam questions, test banks offer a wealth of benefits that can significantly impact a student's academic journey. In this blog post, we'll take a closer look at test banks, exploring what they are, how they work, and why they are an indispensable tool for students striving to succeed in their studies.

    Demystifying Test Banks: A Comprehensive Introduction
    At its core, a test bank is a compilation of questions and answers created by educators to accompany textbooks or course materials. These questions cover a wide range of topics and are designed to assess students' understanding and mastery of the subject matter. Test banks come in various formats, including multiple-choice, true/false, short answer, and essay questions, providing students with a diverse array of assessment tools to gauge their knowledge and comprehension.

    The Advantages of Test Banks: Why They Matter
    Comprehensive Coverage: Test banks offer comprehensive coverage of course material, allowing students to practice and reinforce their understanding of key concepts across different topics and difficulty levels.
    Effective Study Aid: Utilizing a test bank can serve as an effective study aid, helping students familiarize themselves with the format and types of questions they may encounter in exams. By practicing with test bank questions, students can improve their test-taking skills and enhance their overall academic performance.
    Assessment Preparation: Exams can be a source of stress and anxiety for many students, but test banks can help alleviate some of that pressure. By simulating exam conditions and testing their knowledge under timed constraints, students can better prepare themselves for the challenges of test day and feel more confident in their abilities.
    Customization Options: Test banks often come with customization options that allow instructors to tailor assessments to suit their specific teaching objectives. This flexibility enables educators to create exams that closely align with the content covered in their courses and ensure that students are adequately prepared.
    Supplemental Learning Resource: In addition to serving as a study aid, test banks can also function as a supplemental learning resource. Students can use them to reinforce classroom lectures, delve deeper into complex topics, and track their progress throughout the course.
    Tips for Maximizing Test Bank Utilization
    To make the most of test banks and optimize their study experience, students can consider implementing the following strategies:

    Consistent Practice: Set aside dedicated time each day to engage with test bank questions and review your performance. Consistent practice is key to mastering the material and building confidence.
    Focus on Understanding: Instead of simply memorizing answers, strive to understand the underlying concepts behind each question. This approach will deepen your comprehension and enable you to apply your knowledge more effectively.
    Simulate Exam Conditions: When practicing with test bank questions, simulate exam conditions as closely as possible. Set a timer, create a quiet study environment, and refrain from using external resources to mimic the pressure of real exams.
    Seek Feedback: If possible, seek feedback from instructors or peers on your performance with test bank questions. Constructive criticism can help identify areas for improvement and guide your study efforts.
