First, we sauteed the sausage, took it out and sauteed chopped onions and garlic until softened and translucent. Then we added white rice, a chipotle chile in adobo sauce, then chopped celery, frozen corn, canned black beans, canned diced tomatoes, and chicken stock. We cut up the sausage and added it back in and let it simmer until the rice was cooked. When it was done we chopped an avocado and put it on each serving, along with some shredded cheese, sour cream, and cilantro. It turned out to be quite a display, and just as delicious. As we dug into our bowls this was the point that Hillary thought I should share my concotions with others for them to try. We even thought of a rating system. As far as taco soup type dinners go, this was one of the best I've had. I'll rate it an 8, because I know there's always room for improvement.
The point of this blog isn't just for me to talk about what I make, but to inspire others to be creative in how they make food. Nothing is too difficult. I will try anything once. I love trying new things and experiementing. I almost never make the same thing twice, I want to see what else is out there. I also almost never follow a recipe exactly. I use what I have and I make adjustments either to my taste or what I think will turn out better. Anyone can make great food, you just have to try.
