Chili, not because it is chilly outside, just because I ordered the Bountiful Basket and needed to make something with the vegetables that we received .  Not a lot of variety so had to really have an open mind.  You can just type in the vegetables that you want to use and so many things come up.  I like to spiralize I typed that into google as well.  So many recipes that you can make your own by adding/taking things out and making it your own or just get an idea and make it totally your own.

This is more of a vegetarian chili, however you can  brown some meat and add it it, ground or cubed. whatever you prefer.  I left mine all vegetable.  The sauce is so simple.

1-2 Onions rough chopped
5 cloves garlic
3 stalks of celery with leaves
Butter
Olive Oil
1 zucchini spiraled (you can always add more)
1 carrot spiraled
1 can garbanzo beans
1 can pinto beans
1 can kidney beans (if you are feeding 4 or more
2 tsp Cumin
1 1/2 Tbsp Cinnamon
2 Tbsp  Chili Powder
1-2 tsp Red Chili Flakes
1 Tbsp Coriander
2 Tbsp fresh Oregano
Salt and pepper
2-4 cups Spaghetti Sauce


Saute Onions, garlic and celery in butter and 4 tablespoons of Olive Oil on high medium. After 3 minutes add the carrots. Saute for another 3 minutes. Add the beans and zucchini , add
all the spices turn heat to simmer , for 10 minutes  Pour in the sauce and simmer for 15 minutes or until carrots and zucchini is done to your taste.  I like to leave it a little al dente.
Serve warm with slices of crusty bread and maybe a green salad.

Mini Cheesecakes with Apple Caramel Sauce I love making mini cheesecakes as they store really well and you don’t have to worry about eating too much. You can top them with almost anything. This recipe theses cheesecakes will be topped with a velvety fresh apple caramel sauce. I used a mixture of Granny Smith and Red Delicious . I peeled mined but you could leave the skins on the Red Delicious if you prefer. You can do the caramel sauce two different ways. Buy a jar of Smuckers or your favorite brand of caramel sauce or make your own using sugar and butter. I made a sauce for the apples and then used the jarred caramel sauce with it. Once the cheesecakes have cooled you can layer them in a container. I used a large container that held 4 on the bottom placed a piece of parchment paper and then stacked more and so on. I scored the apples separately and left the caramel in the jar until needed. The cheese cakes should be cupcake size. 1cup graham cracker crumbs 3/4 cup macadamia n...
