I made a great meal last night. It was fast, easy, inexpensive, packed with nutrition and delicious.
Tempeh Chilli
Serve with: Pumpernickel bread
We had a great trip to the local farmer's market yesterday where I aquired all of my fresh ingredients at super seasonal prices. I figure the whole pot cost about $10 to prepare and yeilds 4 meals for 2 adults and a toddler. Violet thought it was... not the best dinner, but she is not one for complex flavors. More than one flavor + BBQ sauce is often too much for her 2 year old palate. My husband thought it was good and ate 2 bowls, but he previously lived a life avoiding all legumes. And most vegetables. I think I want to make it every week and use my extra time writing about what a wonderful meal planner I am and keep the saved grocery money to buy more shoes. Shoes, beautiful shoes.

I make a similar recipe. Kieran just asked for it the other day so we ate it on Saturday and Sunday nights, and there are a couple of containers inthe freezer for future lunches.
I'm actually putting together a system for making meal planning, groceries and meal prep much easier. When I post it on my blog I'll let you know.
I just loaded our leftovers into the freezer. My husband confessed he ate burgers and fries for dinner last night while I was working, instead of my chilli. It will make a good Sunday afternoon lunch in October.
I wish Violet would ask for more bean based dishes like your little one, she only requests hummous.
I just recco'd this to a foodie friend. I made her pumpkin
chili tonight and it was fantastic. I think it would work well with tempeh too.
