Weekly Eats

It has been a hot week here in St. Louis- at least 90 degrees everyday.  Yet, Sunday evening I found myself cooking chili and soup.  Maybe the AC made me do it, I'm not sure.  But the soup was delicious last night and we have chili for the whole week.  

The chili is very delicious, and came from this great blog (found through gojee.com, possibly my favorite website).  I added curry instead of salsa and plan on eating it with avocados and fresh spinach this week.  Below is my personal vacuum cleaner watching me as I cooked the turkey for the chili.


I also made a spicy fava bean soup from this blog.  The hardest part of this recipe was finding the actual fava beans.  We finally found them and the soup was absolutely delicious!  We ate it with greek yogurt, cilantro, and spinach.



Then after a delicious dinner and the satisfaction of knowing our fridge is full with healthy good food for the week, it was Mad Men time!  And Mad Man cocktail time.  So we enjoyed a classic Manhattan while watching.  Overall a very nice Sunday!
