Chocolate Apple Chili

My chili is not from Spain. My chili is not made with meat. My chili does not contain an actual chili pepper or meat, but i assure you, my chili is chili. I begin with Gimme Lean Sausage, browned, and add my super secret spice mixture that makes my chili so addictive (William's Original). I saute an onion, bell peppers of various colors, and an apple. I prefer a Braeburn, but Gala will do fine. All the while, I add a bunch of beans, fire roasted tomatoes, Chili Fixens Rotel, brown sugar and additional spices to taste. I usually add about a table spoon of cocoa powder to the pot, but I only had a bit of a dark chocolate bar in the fridge, so i chopped it up and chucked it in.


The chili was great at first bowl, but the next day, when the flavors deepened and the spices matured, it was like a kung fu kick of awesome in the mouth. Enjoy the pics, but if you have the means to attempt a recreation of my delicious Chocolate Apple Chili, then i dare you. I double dog dare you.

Paella

PAELLA

Cinco Za Mayo

Its Cinco de Mayo! So what do we make? PIZZA! This was the first home made pizza dough I've ever made, and it took all day. Literally. I got up at 6:30 to begin the process of creating the stickiest messiest dough in the world. When I got home for my lunch break, the dough had risen to quadruple it's size. I punched it. When I got home at the end of the day, the dough risen again. I punched it. Then I tossed it like a mad man until perfectly round. I slapped it down on a stone and Sher topped it with sauce, Daiya, shrooms, green olives, bell peppers, onions, and thinly sliced tomatoes. It was scrumptious. 

Engrish Brekfirst

I haven't got much of a sweet tooth, so I often enjoy a savory breakfast. I would brush my teeth with sriracha if I wouldn't be breath punching everyone around me. So, this is a fairly regular morning meal Sher and I have~ it's based on a typical English breakfast of beans on toast. This is pinto beans and rye toast. I've thrown in some So Delicious Coconut Milk Vanilla Yogurt and a small glass of OJ. Eat it!

Cheese Steak Sammich

Cheese Steak! What I gotta do! We used Bianca's seitan recipe to create this awesome sandwich. huge fan. LOOK AT ALL THAT CHEESE AND STEAKY RADNESS! Double boom.

Lentil Burger Burrito

I'm back tracking a bit, but I think this is a Lentil Burger Burrito Sher and i made the night after we ate the awesome lentil burgers from PPK. We added sauteed shrooms and onions, rolled them up in whole wheat tortillas (Ole) and grilled them on a panini press. Topped with hot salsa and sprinkle of Daiya Mozz made this leftover meal a flippin punch in the face.
