This recipe is a complete cheat considering I put in a jar of vegetarian chili from “recipes in a jar”.  This isn’t a meal from scratch!

That being said, here’s the recipe for the next time I have a jar handy.

one jar of vegetarian chili

one large can of diced tomatoes

3 3/4 cups of water

2 cups of diced turkey we had leftover from Christmas.

I set the manual high for 22 minutes but the next time I will do it for 30 minutes,  the issue is that there are dry beans in the jar which take a lot of time to cook.  It was t horrible but if you’re used to the texture of a kidney or black bean the timer will need to go longer.

let cool down for 15 minutes and then vent.

here’s the ingredients in case I don’t have the jar next time and I want to try and make it from scratch.

I know the year is going to be a good one when after I set up Sierra with a bowl of oatmeal and Dora the Explorer she comes running into the office saying “I want to give you a hug because I love you!”

This got me thinking that all the things I do for her are finally starting to click inside her brain and all this effort I put into parenting is finally paying off!

Then she realizes she wanted Cheerios instead of oatmeal and proceeds to have a meltdown.
