This Weeks Eats 1.25.15

I'm getting this post up a bit late because we enjoyed this amazing Seattle weather to the fullest today.  Apparently January 25th is a pretty sure bet for a lovely day around these parts, because my Timehop pulled up a sunny and warm post-run photo from last year.  This year, it was a perfect day to meet the new lion cubs and enjoy a visit to the zoo.


Afterward, with my belly full of Dippin' Dots, I still made it out for a nice run in the late afternoon.  Now we're sitting with the windows cracked and looking forward to a few more days of this June like weather.  Might have to fire up the grill this week...
Crock Pot Steak Chili

What you'll need:
1 cup dry pinto beans, rinsed (or put a can in about half way through cooking)
1/2 pound steak
1 14-ounce can whole, peeled tomatoes, with juice (I use petite diced)
2 cups broth (beef, chicken, or vegetable work fine)
1/2 yellow onion, diced
2 Tablespoons tomato paste
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 Tablespoon chili powder
1 Tablespoon ancho chile powder
1 Tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt

Throw it all in the pot and cook on low about 5-6 hours, or if you're using canned beans you can put it on high for 3-4.

As always, I'm linking up with Org Junkie, Mommy Run Fast and Jill Conyers - be sure to check out all the great weekly menus!
