Chopping Onions is Mother Nature's Decongestant !

Man I have been tearing and snotting for over an hour now. That must be one strong onion !! Good thing I cooked it.

Tonights experiment...feeling like wanting something with a mexican flair, but not heavy or loaded with fat...

one pound ground turkey
2 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 to 1 tsp of ms dash

start cooking and then throw in
1/3 cup each:

celery, tops and all, chopped
onion, small dice
carrots, chopped small {i generally chop up baby carrots since I have those frequently}

once the veggies are all cooked thru I added one can of white beans, one can of diced tomatoes with green chilies and one of those really small cans of plain tomato sauce.

simmered for a bit to get all heated thru. not sure which direction to go, with rice or pasta or add more stock for a soup. but really has a great flavor right now just by itself. guess hubby will decide in the morning.

generally, low fat, lots of veggies, double protien....can't get much better for a body !
