White turkey chili using cannellinis and Monterey Jack cheese. I used ground turkey.
I cooked the cannellinis in the pressure cooker, the VitaVix. I didn't know what I was doing but as it turned out, I did them just exactly right. I tried to learn from the manual, but I didn't like the way it was written/organized.
The recipe asked for salt over the cannellinis while doing the pressure cooking. By putting salt on them, I was able to keep the skins on them. Sometimes when I cook them in the slow cooker, they lose the skins, but I've never tried the salt on them that way. This led to a significantly better chili than one where they fall apart.
Chopped salad to go with it. French dressing.
Dessert: small slice of pumpkin pie with whipped cream. Decaf.
Angus beef burgers with cheddar cheese on Kaiser rolls. Lettuce, tomato and onion. Pickles. Baked beans. Klondike bars.

Lean burger, sauteed with 1 diced onion, garlic, 1 lg green pepper & a chili seasoning packet, then added crushed & diced tomatoes& 2 cans each: mild chili beans, black beans, & dark red beans.
Yummy! Too tired to make corn bread, so I served with scoopable tortilla chips.
Just finished eating. Time for a nap. Lol

So.......boiling a big ol pot of beans was the only thing I could think of doing. Will have chili or just a bowl of beans topped with fried spuds and ketchup served with ghost pepper infused honey on cornbread.....
I'll bet that big ol pot of beans and the cornbread was very welcome after all that!
