Not Your Typical Manwich

It snowed today. If it's cold, you might as well cook! I spent about 25 minutes chopping vegetables, but they turned into this:

This is not Manwich. This is Paleo sloppy joes! We served it over sweet potatoes, and it was great! I didn't know it would be as sweet as it was (not a huge sloppy joe fan). 

1 package ground turkey
1/2 onion, chopped small
1/2 green pepper, chopped small
1/2 red pepper, chopped small
1/4 C celery, chopped small
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 T chili powder (we halved it)
1 tea cumin
2 T honey
1 14 oz can diced tomatoes, with liquid
1  6 oz can of tomato paste

1. Saute the onions, garlic, celery together in a skillet until onions are tender
2. Add and brown the ground turkey in the same skillet
3. Next add the spices, or honey, and bell peppers to the skillet
4. Pour in the can of diced tomatoes with liquids and the tomato paste
5. Simmer all together on low for about 15 minutes 
6. Finish with salt and pepper to taste

And since I was already chopping vegetables, I made this Tuscan chicken stew. Look at that simmering! We just used boneless, skinless chicken breasts, so after we cooked the chicken in the broth (about 20-25 minutes), we removed the chicken and bayleaf and shredded the chicken (skipping the step where you strain the broth). It's good! And will warm up nicely for this week of Arctic chills! It would be good with gluten free cornbread!

Besides cooking, I ran on the treadmill because it started to snow as soon as I got home from church. Sunday Funday at the gym was cancelled, and while it probably would have been fine, I think everyone was relieved they didn't have to go out in the elements!
