    This is the recipe I used to make Baked Bean Cupcakes. The second time I tried I halved the sugar. I don't know if this was necessary because Americans have a sweeter tooth than Brits or maybe because our baked beans are more sugary. I used reduced salt and sugar baked beans. Because I was making cupcakes I cooked for just 15 mins.

    1 1/2 cups sugar
    1 cup vegetable oil
    1 - 15 ounce can baked beans
    1 cup raisins (optional)
    3 eggs
    2 cups flour
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    Preheat oven to 325 F. Grease 8X8 inch cake pan or two loaf pans.

    Puree beans in a food processor or blender. Add some of the oil if needed.

    Combine beans, oil and sugar in a large mixing bowl.

    Add eggs and vanilla. Beat until light -- about 6 minutes.

    In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and spices.

    Add flour mixture all at once to bean mixture. Add raisins, if using. Stir just until mixed.

    Pour into baking pans. Bake 45 to 50 minutes.

    If I use the recipe to make 20 or so cupcakes the calories come out to 180 per cupcake, with me probably eating 3 at a time :laugh:

    Ground Turkey Chili - Great in the colder weather. Serves 6 or 7.

    1 lb ground turkey
    1 cup chopped onions
    1 cup chopped celery
    1 can rotel (whichever flavor you like - I like HOT)
    1 can light red kidney beans
    1 can dark red kidney beans (other beans can be substituted for either)
    1 small can tomato sauce
    1 can diced, stewed tomatoes
    1 tsp. red pepper
    1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper (I usually add a lot more)
    1/2 tsp. chili powder (I usually add more)

    Cook ground turkey on stove til browned. Sautee onions and celery. (You can sautee the onions and celery with the ground turkey if you are lazy like me.) Throw everything into a bog chili pot and simmer on low for an hour or so. It can also be cooked in a crockpot on low heat for a few hours. This is great for leftovers as it gets spicier on the 2nd or 3rd day.

    Hi :) I'm new to this thread, but I've been looking at the recipes and they look so good!! Here's a couple things I've made in the last 12 hour. :D

    autumn hash browns-
    1c. frozen shredded hash browns
    1/2c. mashed butternut squash ( I bought a bag of cubed squash, nuked it for a minute, and mashed)
    1/2c raw kale, torn into small pieces

    Mix together, throw on an oiled griddle (I used pam), and cook like hash browns. I topped mine with an egg and egg white. Might sound weird, but it really tastes delicious - like kale chips! I would have added some flax seeds if I had them, but i'm staying as a guest so I'm lacking my pantry staples.


    Also, it's not really a recipe I supposed, since it's too easy, but I made a chicken fajita bowl last night. I nuked pre-cooked chicken, some chopped green peppers and onions, and new mexcan red chile powder with a bit of veggie broth, and mixed in a cup of brown rice and a bit of salsa. Yum. Since I had the chicken in the freezer and I made the rice earlier, this was a.. I dunno, 30 second meal. Awesome :)
