Food 4 Thought Friday.
I copied this Friday Meme from Dawn
Breakfast What is your favorite thing to eat for breakfast?
Lunch What is something that you are disappointed about right now.
Dinner What is in your fridge right now?
Midnight Snack What are you really anticipating right now?
Recipe of the Week (instead of your recipe for life, what is it just for this week?)
Here are my answers:
Breakfast - My favorite breakfast is Bagels & Cream Cheese, just putting this down is making my mouth water. The only bagels I like are cinnamon & raisin or the everything bagel. My favorite cereal is the Special K with chocolate, that is so indulgent first thing in the morning!
Lunch - Nothing disappoints me right now, I am preparing a big Green Tortilla Chili for the Baby Shower tomorrow, so if anything I am excited!!
Dinner - There's cheese, limes, tortilla's & plenty of veg to make a stir fry!
Midnight Snack - I am looking forward to dinner out with my Hubby to celebrate his Birthday. A greek dinner in Tarpon Springs:)
Recipe of the Week -My recipe of the week is what I am making for the Baby Shower tomorrow:)
Green Tortilla Chili
ingredients
1 rotisserie chicken, stripped and shredded
or
1 to 1 1/2 pounds leftover roast turkey meat, shredded
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
1 large onion, chopped
2-3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped
1 rounded tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 16-ounce jar tomatillo salsa
1 beer, any brand you like
1 quart chicken stock
4 handfuls tortilla chips, divided
1 handful cilantro leaves
Juice of 2 limes
preparation
Heat a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat with the EVOO. Cook onions, garlic, and jalapeño until soft, about 4 minutes. Add chili powder and cumin, and cook for another minute. Add the tomatillo salsa, beer and stock. Bring up to a bubble and add in the shredded chicken. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, grind 2 handfuls of the tortilla chips and the cilantro leaves in a food processor. Add this mixture to the chili and continue cooking until it thickens, about 8-10 minutes.
Right before spooning into bowls, add in the lime juice and serve with some whole corn tortilla chips alongside.
Yields 6 servings

That recipe sounds so yummy! Did it turn out good?
I love Greek food. We don't have a great Greek place around here.
I'm so glad you played along.
It's very yummy Dawn. It's one of these 30 minute meals.
