20 Minute Turkey Chili

Can everybody tell when Dad's been out of town? I can. It usually means at least one night of Mom making mac-n-cheese for dinner and some other night where she gets super lazy and makes something else that takes a lot longer. And then, she forgets to take a picture of the finished product for you.

I think she learned her lesson though about making the Girl and I wait too long for dinner after we get home. Yes we have a snack in the car on the way home, but that's not nearly enough. We want to eat when we walk in. And if we don't eat right when we walk in, we want Mom to hold us and play with us while we wait. That's not too much to ask right?

Anyway, Mom made turkey chili which she was promised would only take 20 minutes, and maybe that's true if you get to just make the chili instead of getting milk and lemonade for me and the Girl. Opening the crayon box. Getting some paper out. Looking at my drawing.... LOOK AT MY DRAWING!!!!

Phew, my favorite part of eating chili is that Mom will sometimes make us noodles to go underneath. I dig those out and eat them - unless they are touching the chili like the noodles in this picture. They were tainted so I'm choosing the ones that have the least amount of chili on them. I also ask for my cheese on the side, so there is my pile of cheese on my napkin.

I eventually ate some of this.

And so did the girl, although she pulled out all her pasta to eat separately. She also liked her cheese on the side. Like me!

This meal seemed put together really fast. I only cried once in the time it took to make it, so I guess it was good for a school night. You can make it yourself by clicking here.

Pete approved (but only if it comes with lots of cheese and noodles).
