Mexican Harvest Turkey Chili

Okay, I know I just posted a cozy stew recipe last week but as I get older, the need for comfort fall foods (soups, stews, chili’s) has increased so sorry, not sorry! I have needs too, haha!

Just like the veggie beef stew, this chili recipe is a simple and easy way to load up on things healthy while being super affordable.

Harvest vegetables like butternut squash, yams, sweet potatoes, onions, garlic, pumpkin while adding a Mexican twist that also includes harvest ingredients like green chilies, poblano peppers, fire roasted tomatoes, beans, and corn - you are truly getting the best of both worlds!

Mango Melon Sorbet with Chamoy Sauce

Mango melon sorbet with chamoy sauce - A popular Mexican condiment that is salty, sour, spicy, and sweet. Paired with the two most favorite summer fruits and sprinkled with chili lime seasoning - it’s the ultimate refreshing summer dessert! Naturally sweetened, dairy free, and bursting with flavor!

It is sad to say that my taste buds have not been in contact with chamoy sauce until two weeks ago! It’s actually embarrassing - just writing it out. I thought, maybe because I just wasn’t exposed to it being that I have lived in the South and Midwest my entire life but it’s not that because out of all the places in the world, I had my first chamoy experience in this small Mexican sorbet shop in Oklahoma!

That day forever changed my taste buds for the good! Literally, if you had chamoy sauce, your mouth is probably drooling at this point - because that is what it does to you!

Chamoy = Salt + Sour + Spicy + Sweet

The Best Gluten-Free Skillet Cornbread

During the first few weeks of quarantine, I was a baking machine. I created all the things, paleo banana nut bread, muffins, cookies, sourdough bread, you name it! It was so bad, I had to start freezing the leftovers because my fridge couldn’t handle it!

I was also creating recipes using ingredients from my pantry. Like most, I wasn’t sure if the grocery stores were going to be closed or only provide limited ingredients so I got creative in the fast! But since I’m cooking for one, having a one-pot meal goes a long way!

Chili Lime Mango Smoothie

One thing you must know about me, I love spicy food! There is just something about adding a dash of sriracha or hot sauce to a meal that takes it to the next level!

This recipe was inspired by an Instagram post I made a while back with my favorite afternoon snack combo, mango, and chili lime seasoning. This seasoning mix brings out the flavors of the mango while adding the perfect amount of heat to it.
