Whoa!

Tonight's supper was Smokey Two Bean Vegetarian Chili Holy Cow! It's hot, not too hot to eat, but the smokey part is my mouth burning. Actually, the smokey part is from the chipotle chiles canned in adobo sauce. This is a key ingredient. I don't think it would be any good without it. I really enjoyed it and I'm glad the recipe made 4 servings because I am looking forward to having it again soon. I think it might have been improved with maybe the tiniest hint of sugar, but obviously that's not going to be included in my diet recipe. And as long as you've got the ingredients, this was not hard to make. I'm not a vegetarian, but this didn't need any meat.

My breakfast today was ok. Quinoa with berries (of course pureed and strained) and toasted almonds. I'm liking my French press coffee more and more. I had two cups again today. I hope I sleep.

Lunch, on the other hand, was mediocre at best. It was called a jar salad. It called for tahini, lemon juice, chick peas, canned roasted peppers, chicken, and spring mix greens. It was just flat and boring. I let it set for several hours while I was off doing things, and it said it could be refrigerated for up to 24 hours. I would think that given the time, the flavors would have melded and improved. But nope. I don't think I'll be revisiting this recipe any time soon.
