Here are a couple of dinner ideas from the past week.

The first picture is of chicken chili. I used my version (lower in fat) of the Neelys from Food Network’s recipe. One thing that I discovered is that using fat free refried beans makes a great thickener.

We also had a last fling of summer vegetables. Carrots, celery, onions, zucchini, kale, and tomatoes make this homey stew of garbanzo beans and pasta super inviting.
