What's for Primal Dinner? 2.0

Neck, while I don't share your enthusiasm for football I'll give you two thumbs up for the game day food.

Neck our Steelers had a rough day. Man we’re they off and Jacksonville really brought it. Certainly proved they were in it to win it!

What is this, a conspiracy? First this: https://www.paleorunningmomma.com/buffalo-chicken-dip-paleo-whole30/ now you... this needs to be made soon. Definitely.

Back OT: salmon & oven roasted mixed veggies.

Sigh....yah. Jacksonville outplayed em. I’m surprised so high scoring a game.

Haha....that version sounds great. Mines a bit simpler.

Made a lovely beef stew last night. Wish I'd taken a picture. With all the snow we're having it really hit the spot. Beef chunks, onions, carrots, celery and a hearty broth.

Pretty as a picture beef stew. That sounds good.

Mmmm beef stew does sound great!

Winter hit south central Texas, temps down to 18 degrees, sleet on the ground. Made crock pots of robust chili for my fiance', her son, and me. Others may make chili just as good, but none ever better!

FYI, "chile" refers to a type of pepper, "chili" is the concocted food that uses "chile" peppers!

A big pot of chili sure sounds good. I'm assuming you are a "no bean" chili man, OTB

I made chili sans beans last night myself. Cold weather screams chili

What's in chili if not beans???

No beans, no tomatoes. Beef. Chuck.

Tonight's dinner is brought to you by my InstantPot. As I sit here at work Insta (as she is so affectionately named) is cooking up a nice pot roast onions, and mushrooms in a little red wine.

Optional. No right or wrong there. I don't make it with beans, but when I buy canned, I buy it with beans.

There is a magazine called Texas Monthly. I subscribe because I want to know what I can about my sort of new home. There is a columnist, The Texican. A year or more ago he decided to make chili with beans, a lot of humor about fearing being discovered in the check out line, stuff like that. His Texas wife was horrified at the idea.

Well? They both loved it, much Texas egg on their faces.

Read it. I wouldn't doubt that the origins were more along those lines, but I can't imagine chili w/o tomatoes, onions, garlic, and cumin. Let alone optional beans. Too ascetic.

And a hell of a lot of work, there.

The Texican may be deported to New York following that stunt. Sacrilege is taken seriously in Texas.

LOL!

The irony (right word?) is that if one doesn't have other points of reference, how does one know Texas is so (allegedly) great? I have spent my adult life living in FL, CO, and CA. Now, Texas for two years. I can say that each and every state had good things and bad things about it. Meaning government, policies, people. Heck, I even find some things admirable in Texas, that's how open minded and objective I try to be.

But back to keeping this primal, and Texas, I do so love the grilling culture! Insanely big.

Southwest Chicken soup.

^ Hope it tasted as good as it looks.

Ontario's way of silencing the chili debate...

Looks tasty and judging by the recipe I found, it is.

Is that SW Ontario? Which would equal Upper Midwest of North America, no?

I challenge you to throw in some chili powder!

But, yes, looks great!
