Description

I have made all of these recipes myself. I always try to show the original source of the recipe, but am constantly editing them to suit our tastes (so technically they should all say "Adapted from..."). The portions are generally small since my family doesn't consume much food in one sitting.

When searching in the categories below, don't forget to click on "older posts" at the bottom right of the screen after scrolling through them to see more recipes in that category.

*I have recently added a $ label to show that I've calculated the price of the recipe. All prices include 3% food tax.*

Quinoa Chicken Chili (sweettreatsmore.com)

I found this recipe on sweettreatsmore.com. The family loved it!

This is half the original recipe and makes enough to feed my family with enough left over for a nice lunch or two for me.


½ c quinoa, rinsed
1 (14 oz) can crushed tomatoes*
1 (16 oz) can black beans
1 (15 oz) corn, drained
2 c chicken stock
1 large chicken breast
½ large bell pepper, seeded and chopped
½ tsp minced onion
½ tsp garlic
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp crushed red pepper
½ tsp chili powder (or taco seasoning)
1 tsp salt
Cheese
Cornbread (optional)

Place everything in a 6 qt slow cooker and cook for 5-7 hours on low or 2.5-3.5 on high. Remove chicken, shred it and return to slow cooker. Keep warm until ready to serve. Garnish with cheese. Add cornbread if desired.

*The original recipe had 7 oz more of tomatoes (diced tomatoes with green chilies ~ Rotel). Add more liquid or tomatoes if needed.

    I made this the other night and everyone ate it. That's saying something. And I finally used the quinoa that I bought six months ago. Yay! Thank you. Hope you don't mind me using your recipes. I know there's always something family-friendly to be found here.
