I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! I didn’t mean to be gone from blogging all week, but sort of unconsciously decided to unplug some and it felt really good. In fact, I still have to open my inbox from ignoring it all week. I am not looking forward to doing that tomorrow. I hate to see the mountain of monstrosity waiting for me once I do.
Speaking of unplugging, over the break I thought a lot about what my 2013 word of the year will be. For 2012 I chose Connect, which has been great, but I think my focus for 2013 will be “Simplify”. I’m still tossing it around in my thoughts, but right now that’s what I think I want and need to focus on in 2013. We’ll see if I change my mind between now and the first of the year! Have you given some thought to your focus for 2013?
When it comes to cooking, simple equals one pot meals that provide both great nutrition and comfort, all in one. When my friends at Bush’s Beans asked me to create a family favorite recipe using their beans, I knew just what I wanted to put together… a simple Bean and Steak chili recipe that would both tempt our tastebuds and be as simple as pouring, stirring and simmering. Chef Jeffrey Saad gave me some tips to complete the recipe, and I’m thrilled with how it turned out.
As we head into the rest of the crazy holiday season, I’m relying on simple one pot recipes to make my life a little easier. If you are too, this recipe is one you should definitley try! Enjoy!

This looks so good, Kristen! I definitely need to make some steak chili and have to try that rub ASAP!
Oh, I think I like the idea of using one word as the next year’s goal… now, you’ve got me thinking! Simplify does seem like a good place to start though!
Oooh… this looks perfect for these cooler nights. Trying it soon!

Love the idea of simplify for 2013. I think balance might be my word. 🙂 xo
oh this looks DELICIOUS and you certainly can’t get any easier than this!! Steve would love this! thanks Kristen!
Sounds so yummy – and is exactly what I want to make during December…easy and yummy so we can focus on stuff other than doing the dishes every night!! 🙂
This is gorg! And I want it all.
How great to take a week off. Looks like an easy and delicious meal.
Ah steak after all that turkey…love it, love it:).
YAY for no more turkey lol. I LOVE beans. Sometimes I not-so-secretly will just open up a can of chickpeas and snack on them.
Mmmm…this looks SO comforting! 🙂 Love that you do a word of the year too. “Simplify” sounds wonderful.
Love this hearty, stick to your ribs chili! One dish meals are perfect during the busy holiday season, and this one is no exception!
This looks just perfect for a cold wet evening like this one! Now if only this was already made and waiting for me at home 🙂
This girl is all about the bean. Love the use of two different types in this chili. And.. I did not realize that Bush Beans has seasoned varieties now. Love using preseasoned beans for quick lunches. Will have to look a little harder next time I hit the market.
