The Perfect Chili for a Chilly Day

Tonight, my mother and I used a recipe from Trader Joe's, using trader Joe ingredients. It's such an easy chili recipe with only 5 ingredients!! Can you believe it?! It calls for ground turkey, and usually my family and I go for the beef instead-but this turkey works perfectly!

Easy Chili:

• 1 1/4 pound ground turkey
• 1 can of black beans(Don't drain)
• 1 jar roasted garlic salsa
• 1 jar chunky salsa
• 1 can marinated bean salad(Don't drain)

You cook the turkey in a skillet with a little olive oil and salt and pepper, while the bean and salsa mixture is simmering on the stove. When the turkey is cooked, you add it into the pot and let that simmer for about 10 minutes before it is served. All together, this chili took us about 35 minutes to make! We actually doubled the recipe because soup is so good to have during the week too.

Today was an amazing rainy day in California. I loved how it was pouring for so long! I love the sound of the rain hitting the streets and the gloomy cozy day. This soup was the perfect finishing touch to a relaxing holiday. And SO easy! You have to try it sometime!

Tomorrow is the first day of the new semester, the Spring semester. So I have new courses that I am taking and I don't know what exactly to expect. We will just have to see how that goes! And when I stop and think about it, the school year has flown by! I can't believe I am half way through my first year of high school. Even now, I am really starting to realize just how fast time flies before us. It just makes me remember to enjoy every day that the Lord has given us. I hope you all had a wonderful day today. I wish you all a fantastic week ahead! :)
