What is pumpkin chili?? sounds yummy!!!

It's delish! I love it! It's spicy with a little sweetness in the background. Here's the recipe.

PUMPKIN CHILI

1 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1/2 cup chopped yellow onion

1 cup chopped red bell pepper

1 clove garlic

20 oz. fresh ground turkey (at least 93/7 lean)

2 (15 oz.) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies, mild

1 (15 oz.) can Tomato sauce

1 (15 oz.) can 100% pure pumpkin ( I only use 1 cup, but the whole can is fine too)

1 (15 oz). can dark red kidney beans

1/2 cup whole kernal corn, canned or fresh

1 & 1/2 Tbsp. chili powder

1 tsp. ground cumin

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. ground black pepper

2 Tbsp. Splenda Brown Sugar Blend

few pinches of cinnamon

Brown turkey in olive oil for a few minutes, then add onions, peppers, and garlic. Cook until completely browned and drain. In the crockpot, add all other ingredients and stir until combined well. Add in ground turkey mixture and stir. Cook on low for 5 hours. It's even better the next day!

I guess I'm in the minority. I rarely have any issues with Pasta or bread. The only foods I have trouble with is scrambled eggs, french fries, and raw vegetables. Then again, I have never seemed to have the amount of restriction that most people get.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
