      Considering that the only difference in the two batches of chili is that one has two cans of black beans in it, the two have fairly different tastes. I'm not sure which one I prefer, I had two small bowls of both for supper.

        I had a leftover pork chop. I made an apple stuffed acorn squash and scallop potato to have with it.

          I have a black bean-ground turkey chili that is my favorite. It actually includes no tomatoes. I like kidney beans in my minestrone. The two have very different tastes. I'm not much of a fan of pinto beans. When I was making burritos, I used refried pinto beans. They were ok, but I prefer the other two beans. My husband, however, is not keen on any of these three beans, so I keep them for lunch meals for me. He will eat large lima beans, which is why that is on the menu for this evening,

            Has anyone tried pumpkin chili? I think I made it last year with 2 cups of pumpkin puree substituted for part of the diced tomatoes. I don't remember it as being bad or good. I like black beans in chili.

              I'm not a big fan of pumpkin in general, or most squash. I see white bean chili on menus all the time, but I've never made any. Lima beans aren't something we care for, either.

                The large lima beans--that I'll be cooking this afternoon, and which have been soaking overnight--have a different taste from the frozen green lima beans. I'm making the "Tomato and Gigante Bean Bake/Pizza Beans" recipe from Smitten Kitchen Every Day. (It's also on Deb Perelman's Smitten Kitchen website.) According to her notes, these beans are called fagioli corona in Italy and gigante/gigandes in Greece. I use the Bob's Red Mill large lima beans (starting with 2 1/2 cups dry).

                The recipe is supposed to be vegetarian, but the first time I made it, my husband said, "It would be good with some meat in it." So much for a meatless meal! I brown ground turkey and add it, and that works for him.

                    Tonight I made broccoli-cheddar soup, using the Panera Bread copy-cat recipe, which is my favorite. We had the leftover chicken-broccoli braid with it.

                        I made a duck breast with spaetzle and Brussels sprouts and carrots. The duck breast gave up a fair amount of fat, with I saved. Although I did lose a lot of the fat filtering it.

                            Skeptic--I haven't made pumpkin chili, but I did make a black bean and pumpkin soup last year from The Smitten Kitchen blog. I liked it, but the pumpkin does tend to disappear with the black beans and spices.
