after moving in together, my roomie and i made a promise to each other to cook and eat together as often as our schedules made possible. the only issue with that became apparent quickly as his idea of dinner is a bag of frozen taquitos and cholula, while i tend to go for large salads and quinoa dishes (every guys favorite right?..). in order to find a happy medium, i've sought out recipes that we can both enjoy that include healthy twists to our favorite dishes. this black bean and turkey chili is healthy, super easy to make and we both loved it!
