Episode 149:  The Challenge Continues 10K, Vegetarian Chili Recipe, & Destihl Normal Pils

RUN 

Dana ran a 10K this week as Aimee continued her road to recovery and back to running.  The 10K we feature is from one of our favorites, Medal Chasers.  The Challenge Continues 10K from our friends, is a virtual race supporting the Colorectal Cancer Alliance.  We discuss his run, the featured charity, and the bling he earned as well as an update to Aimee’s progress.

EAT

We continue to share healthy meals and snacks with you this week.  We are getting 2021 off to a great start with some of our favorites.  This week’s dish is one that can be a lunch or dinner vegetarian or vegan option.   It is also a good option to warm your soul at this chilly time of year, no pun intended.

Meatless Chili (With Amazon Affiliate Links to Ingredients): 

1 Pound (16oz) of Dried Red Kidney Beans  

2 Cans (10oz) No Salt Added RoTel

2 Cans (10oz) Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies 

1 Medium Onion Diced

4 Tablespoons Cumin

2 Tablespoons Onion Powder

4 Tablespoons Chili Powder

1 Cup Bulgar Wheat 

2 Tablespoons Liquid Aminos 

Directions:

Add kidney beans, RoTel, Onion, Cumin, Onion Powder, and Chili Powder to Instant Pot.  Set to pressure cook for 1 hour on high.  After pressure valve releases, add Bulgar Wheat.  Then, pressure cook another 20 minutes. After cooking is completed and. Instant Pot is depressurized, stir in Liquid Aminos.

Serving Suggestion:  

Serve in a bowl with raw, chopped onion, chopped jalapeño and a dash of hot sauce or lime

DRINK 

We got suggestions for our show in the coming year and one was the desire to see food and beer pairings.  So what goes with our vegetarian chili?  A website where we have found some delicious and healthy recipes for many years, Cooking Light, recommends a Pilsner.  This week we try a beer from Destihl called Normal Pils.  It is a bready beer with a 5% ABV.  Sweet malt and earthy hops are at play to cool our palate after our spicy take on vegetarian recipe this week.
