What's In The Fridge Mexican Bean Chiloup

OOook...SO for tonight I had to make something quick and with things I had around the house... This is what I came up with... PS you can't screw up mexican flavors... It's just NOT possible..

So you'll need:

1 onion chopped

2 Cloves garlic grated

1 Zucchini

1/2 Bunch of Cilantro

1 Avacado

1 Lime (wedged)

3-4 Green onions

2 Handfulls of Spinach

1 can of each: Black eyed Peas, Black beans, Corn, Diced tomatoes, Jalapenos

1 Tbsp Cumin

1 Tbsp Chili Powder

1 1/2 C Vegi stock

Some sour cream and Shredded Cheese

Also, one package of tortillas or a bag of tortilla chips.

-Sautee the onion and garlic in olive oil (maybe like, 2 tbsp?) until onions are soft.

-Add cilantro, cumin and chili powder.

- Add everything else except: Green onions, avacado, lime, sour cream and cheese.

-Cook til zucchini is soft....i dunno... like....10 mins?

If you are going to make your own chips like im going to.. just cut up the tortillas into strips and put them on a cookie sheet, drizzle with olive oil and bake in a 350* oven til crispy... I dont know exactly how long that takes so just watch them..

THEN! Put the Chili/Soup into bowls and top with diced avacado, green onions, cheese, juice from a lime wedge and sour cream. Oh and the chips that you made too... EAT

Butter Chicken!!

Sooooo for this one, I'm not going to put up the recipe. If you want it just email me at squishmartin@gmail.com

Anyways it was given to Corby from his boss Ian. Who got it from his wife, who got it from HER mom who lives in India.. They also gave us a Tandoori chicken recipe that we will try out soon.

This was super easy though!! and frickin delish!

I didn't make the naan bread, but it was still yummy :)

NUTS!!!

OOok... SO you need:

1 Egg white, whipped!
5 c of your favorite nuts mix
1 c Dried cranberries
1/2 Dried apricots
1/2 c Splenda brown sugar mix
1 1/2 Tbsp Cinnamon

*Pre-heat oven to 350
*In a large bowl, whip up your egg white.
*Add all ingredients
*Mix until everything is coated
*Put in a greased 9 x 13 pan
*Bake for 10 mins, Stir the nuts then bake for another 10 mins.
*Take out of the oven and let cool 5-10 mins, then go and stir them again to break them apart, they will stick together if you let them cool all the way. But, if you like that, then go ahead.

*EAT THEM! and make sure to keep the FAR away from Corby if you want ANY at all. Seriously. :)
