Turkey Chili
Walmart had Maple Leaf Prime ground turkey and chicken on sale last week so I stocked up as much as my freezer could hold! Our family loves chili all year long so I decided to make a healthier version for us. Here is what we did:
Ingredients:
– 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
– 1 large onion
– 2 medium carrots sliced
– 1 cup of fresh spinach
– 3 garlic cloves diced
– 1 1/2 cups of freshly diced tomatoes
– 1 can diced tomatoes
– 1 pound of ground extra lean turkey or chicken
– 4 tbsp dry black lentils
– 4 tbsp cumin
– 1 tbsp chili powder
Directions:
1. On medium heat, saute the onion, garlic cloves, carrots in a large pot until slightly golden.
2. Add the turkey or chicken meat. Stir until the meat is cooked through.
3. Add the spinach and continue to cook until the spinach has been cooked through.
4. Add the cumin and chili powder and cook for another minute to absorb the spices.
5. Add the fresh tomatoes and cook for another minute to two minutes or until the tomatoes become slightly absorbed.
6. Add the diced tomatoes and allow to cook on medium heat for roughly 30 minutes or until the majority of the tomatoes have been absorbed.
Enjoy! I was able to make not only dinner with this recipe but also two freezer lunch meals with this – perfect for busy work weeks!

Lentil Curry
I have been searching high and low for a couple of good lentil recipes. I checked out a couple of sites (including the Canadian Lentils website – what a great recipe collection they have and my other favourite site – the Gracious Pantry). With this knowledge in hand we made a curry (our family loves curry!) using the lentils I had just purchased. Here is what we did.
Ingredients:
– 2 cups of green lentils
– 7 cups of chicken broth
– 2 cups of sliced carrots
– 3 cups of fresh spinach
– 7 garlic cloves
– 1 zucchini grated
– 1 tbsp of curry powder
– 2 tsp cinnamon (this is where my hubby wished we had cinnamon sticks!)
– 1 tsp cumin
– 2 tsp onion powder
– 1/2 tsp ground ginger
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients into one large pot. Bring to a boil and continue to boil on medium heat until the liquid has been absorbed (took roughly thirty minutes on our stove).
This prepared meals for four for dinner with lunch the next day as well as three freezer meals for during the work week.

Spot The Bee #WW
My favourite tree in the front of our house is home to some beautiful bees! Had to capture and share them.
