Chili Time And Pumpkin time! So Let's do Pumpkin Black Bean Turkey Chili!

OK, girls. They tell me it is cool here in Florida so it is time to fix chili. Seriously, lots of folks are seriously saying it's cool/cold and they are fixing chili. I, personally, have not noticed cool weather. I am still in flip flops and shorts. No sweaters, no fleece, no boots.....no cool weather. But I decided to go with the flow and make some chili!! I found a new recipe and it is good!

Pumpkin Black Bean Turkey Chili

Saute:

1 cup chopped onion

1 cup chopped yellow bell pepper

3 minced garlic cloves

2 TBSP butter or margarine

2 TBSP oil

Stir in:

1 1/2 tsp oregano

1 1/2 - 2 tsp ground cumin (I omitted this by accident and it was still good.)

2 tsp chili powder

Cook for on low while you brown 1 lb ground turkey sausage OR 1 lb ground turkey meat.

Transfer all to crockpot.

Stir in:

2 15 oz cans black beans, rinsed and drained

16 oz can pumpkin

14 1/2 oz. diced tomatoes

3 cups chicken broth

Cover and cook on low 7 to 8 hours.

Yes, there is pumpkin in the chili. I really like it. I used the turkey sausage instead of ground turkey and it was great!

Happy Birthday, Love

My sweet, crazy hubby had a birthday, so, of course, I had to make him something to express to him how much I love him! I have seen different version of "Love Notes" on Pinterest and Debbie Lanning told me about one she saw and that prompted my decision to make my "Love Note" for my Hankster. I wrote a little love note on it for him to find first thing the morning of his birthday. And a new one each day since. I found the picture frame at Big Lots. It is a 5x7 plastic frame. It was l.25. I think it would look better in a pretty decorative frame out of wood, but my budget is small. BUT I will keep my eyes open for something I like better at thrift stores and change it out once I make the find. Then I found the scrapbook paper at Michaels for .29. The dry erase pen was from Big Lots for 1.00. So looks like I spent under 3.00! I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but I wrote with a Sharpie on the paper I (heart) you beca...

Christmas! I Love Christmas!

I absolutely love everything about the Christmas season. There are so many ways we can celebrate Jesus, our Saviour with our friends, our family, and our community. I want to share with you what has been going on in my little world. For Thanksgiving all our kids were here with us and the day after Thanksgiving the girls and I made wreaths from the grapevines in our yard, collected pinecones and painted some of them.

Yes, it was coat and mitten weather in Florida! At Bayou George Christian Church, we ladies had our own awesome start of the Christmas season. We worshipped together, led by Faye and Libby. We invited Panama City Christian Church and Eastside Christian Church ladies to join our "Christmas Gathering" and we had 38 beautiful women! It was su...
