[MandaMe1986]

I love soup, soup sounds good. 

But tonight I am going to make meat balls in red chili on top of mash patatos.  Being from New Mexico I eat a lot of chili, green chili, red chili, chili chili chili.  Yummy!

[twirl]

I made broccoli and cheese cornbread for my husband - a double batch
tomorrow they are having a cook-off at Peet ( a junior high school )
he could enter cornbread or chili
we are out of venison so I made cornbread -
would have loved to do jalapeno cornbread but every teacher does that -
this is in the right section because MandaMe 1986 was posting about chili   

[MandaMe1986]

OK now for my meatball and chili recipe that is a little diffrent. Cause it is off the top of my head. 

Meat Balls

1 1/2 lb ground meat (I usually use lean hamburger or turkey)
garlic
a pinch of sea salt
black pepper
onion powder
3 eggs
and about 1 1/2 of oatmeal or plain bread crumbs, or crushed crackers.  It all depends on what I have on-hand.


Chili

Red Chili pods seeds and stems removed. Soak in water until soft.  Fill blender about 3/4 full add 1 table spoon of garlic, and 2 table spoons of veggie oil. Add water and blend.  How much water usually depends on how thin you want your chili so add as you go. 

Mix meatball mixture and form in to balls and cook.  Heat up chili in a pot or crockpot while cooking meatballs.  Then place meatballs in chili and simmer for about 20 mins. Longer if you have time.  I have been know to leave them in a crockpot for a few hours.

Anyone needs some Chili pods I am more then happy to send ya some!

Sorry if the recpie is a little lose.  I kinda made it up haha.  I also made up a red chili enchilada pizza! Haha yummy.

[twirl]

so you place chili with meatballs on mashed potatoes and then you get to eat broc & cheese biscuits

one of Stasie's ex boy friend's family used to serve you a hard boiled egg with your spaghetti -
 
red enchilada pizza --- sounds good --- do you use masa for the crust --- we like barbecue chicken pizza

I googled cornbread recipes and found cornbread with cranberries --- husband wants to try it 

[MandaMe1986]

I bet cornbread with cranberries is pretty good. Let me know how you like it. And no I use pizza dough.  It is pretty good.  And yes I like me some red chili so I figured what the hell lets try it. And we loved it, so I keep making it. haha

[MandaMe1986]

Miss Twirl where is the  broccoli and cheese cornbread recipe?  I have been wanting to make it for 2 days. Haha.  It sounds sooooo goood!

[willieandwinnie]

Broccoli and Cheese Cornbread

4 eggs
1/2 butter or margarine melted  - not hot
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 (8.5 ) ounce package cornbread or muffin mix
1 (10 ounce) package frozen broccoli - thawed and drained --- I get the chopped into small pieces broccoli
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese  -- I use sharp
1 onion - chopped  - I used half an onion --- so my husband does not notice the onions as much

the last time I doubled it I added the salt doubled
and I think it tasted a little salty
everyone liked it
I am used to adding no salt
but I was afraid the cornbread would not rise
it got "honorable mention" at my husband's school
there were at lease 50 pans of all kinds of cornbread

in a bowl, combine eggs, butter and salt
stir in corn bread mix until just blended
stir in remaining ingredients
pour into greased 11-7-2  pan
bake at 350 for 30 - 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center come out clean
slice and serve
I usually double the recipe and put in into a greased 13 X 9 pan
this is so good

[MandaMe1986]

Thank you Twirl  sounds really good.  I think I am gonna make it tonight for dinner with a baked chicken. Yummy!

[monrein]

A stirfry of left over chicken, sugar snaps, carrots, red pepper, mushrooms, water chestnuts, onions, an egg, fresh ginger and garlic.  I cut the ginger into little slivers and soak them in a half cup  of water which I use as part of the sauce.  I use Hoisin sauce mostly for the sauce (less salt than soy or oyster sauce) but also a half teaspoon of oyster sauce, a little sesame oil and a fair bit of thai chili sauce (again because it's relatively low in salt).   I used rice noodles which I pre-soaked in warm water and added at the very end, tossing them in thoroughly with all the other stuff in the wok.  I prefer using "cellophane" clear noodle threads made from yams but I didn't have any at home so substituted the rice noodles.  I'm not sure how the cellophane noodles fit with a renal diet.

I sprinkled some raw but toasted by me, unsalted cashews on top but would avoid that if I were on D.  We enjoyed it.
