Chunky Vegetable Quinoa Chili
Are you asking yourself if Angie has finally lost it cuz she's making a delicious hearty soup in the heat of summer?


Oh honey.

I lost my marbles YEARS AGO.



Speaking of marbles though...(nice segueway huh??)

Picturemarblesgalore.com
OH OH OH!

Look at all the pretty marbles.

You know how I'm a sucker for bright, shiny things.

Hence, my propensity for tacky vintage Christmas ornaments, yes?

Remember this one from when you were a kid?

I ALWAYS wanted this one!


Picture


Or one of these...


the smaller ones with the swirls!



According to the neatorama.com website...
Did you know marbles go back 5,000 years?
And that they were made out of stone, bone or clay...whatever material was at hand?


Also, marbles were first mass-produced by the Akron Toy company in Akron, Ohio in 1884. They were made of clay.

By 1890, the first handmade glass marbles were being made by Samuel Dyke. In Akron.

Eventually, Dyke’s factory was turning out a million marbles a day. When it burned in 1904, so many children rummaged through the ruins for marbles that, for safety’s sake, the remains of the building were buried.

In the mid-1990s, the site of theat burned American Marble factory was a parking lot. The city decided to replace it with a park, and as the ground was dug up, thousands of very old marbles were uncovered. So a portion of the park became home to the American toy Marble Museum which opened to the public in 2002. Many of the unearthed marbles are on display at the museum in Akron.


Cool, huh??!!

Okay, let's get back to this Chunky Vegetable Quinoa Chili from the picky-palate.com website.

Here's the fixins...


By the way, this soup is simply fantastic, full of flavor...don't let all the ingredients
scare you. The prep time is worth it.
Also did you know quinoa is pronounced KEEN-WA. Seriously, don't even get me started on that one!


So anyway,
we start by cutting up the cute little sweet peppers....
aren't they cute??
Picture



So cut up all your other vegetables.....

Picture


And then come over to my house and clean my kitchen please.

After cleaning my kitchen, saute the vegetables in olive oil until softened.....
Picture


Make sure you spill a lot of the vegetables on your craptastic 1990's stove.
 
Oh, look at that peacock blue Fiesta spoon rest though. Love it!

Picture


OH! In the meantime, cook up your quinoa...so easy!!!!

Picture


Add the garlic to the vegetables...by the way, the aroma is super fantastic!!!

Then add the beans....
Picture
Then add the chicken broth...
Picture
And the tomatoes.....
Picture
I used some home made broth I had in the freezer too...
Picture
Picture


Get your spices together and throw them in the pot....

Yummy!!! Add in the HEAT!!!! Can you say YOWZA?
Picture

And the lime juice....
Picture
Picture

And this is how it all looks all together with the quinoa added in...the aroma will sweep you off your feet.

Picture


Plate up, or rather bowl up that soup now.

Picture


Ahhhh, so delicious.

So spicy.

But not too spicy!

So many layered flavors.

Picture
Man, if this soup doesn't rev up your metabolism and put a smile on your face, I don't know what will.
Well, besides New York Style cheescake.





Picture
And of course yittle
tiny babee
  SUPERBOY!!!!

Superboy is FLYING through the air.


He's flying, flying high and freeeeee.



Picture

Superboy's ride has now been grounded.

"Hey Gramps.
Why you land me?
I was having fun in the air.
Is it cause it's 90 degrees and you've worked all day and your arms are tired?
Do it again Gramps.
Again!
Again!
Oh okay, I'll just sit here and play with your nose and mouth instead."
