Day 17: BOB (Bowl o' Beef)

Breakfast = You guessed it! Quiche + grapefruit + coffee

Lunch
Yesterday I had some extra ground beef and no leftovers ready for lunch.  So, I decided to make a sort of skillet chili-ish thing, which I then ate today. 



It was pretty good, if I do say so myself!  Here's the recipe, in case you wanna try it.

Skillet Chili (aka "BOB")

1 TB olive oil
1/2 onion
1 lb ground beef
1 jalapeno (most of the seeds removed)
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 can hot, chopped green chilis
chili powder
1 can diced no-salt tomatoes
salt & pepper
bunch of baby kale

Saute onion in olive oil over medium high heat.  Add ground beef when onions somewhat soft.  Saute until no pink left.  While the beef is cooking, chop the jalapeno (note: I always wear gloves when working w/ hot peppers because I once burned my eye even after washing my hands!) and pepper.  Add the jalapeno, pepper, chilis, chili powder, and saute about a minute to incorporate the flavors.  Add the tomatoes, salt & pepper, and cook until it reduces a bit.  Taste and season if necessary.  Add kale during the last 5 minutes just to get it to wilt. 

Dinner
For dinner I had meat sauce over roasted spaghetti squash.  I did find myself eyeing my husband's pasta.  But, again, it did the job.
