What could be better than dinnertime with no cooking! I love it when the house smells great all day and dinner is just waiting for me to be hungry. (I am always hungry!) Another plus is that I have a great deal of energy in the morning. I am one of those annoying people who wake up perky and energetic. So it is the perfect time for me to cook. It’s all downhill from there, though.

Anyway, first thing this morning we browned the ground turkey then added mushrooms, onions, spices and tomato paste to the skillet. After a brief sauteeing, we dumped everything into the slow-cooker along with a bunch of other stuff I cut up.

Filling up the slow-cooker

We cooked the chili on high for about 4 hours and then turned it down to low. During this time we played tennis, lifted weights, took a swim, and tidied up. The chili was ready when we were ready to eat it. I wish I could figure out more to make in the slow-cooker!

Clark and Lewis are ready for dinner
