Goal #72 Try 100 new recipes: Minnesota Winter Chili and Apple and Pomegranate Kale Salad (53-54/100)

Last night I cooked dinner for my dinner group again. Earlier in the day I talked with one of my best friends, and she told me she decided a few weeks ago to be vegetarian! So, in honor of her, and since we'd just had chicken two nights in a row, I came up with the following vegetarian dinner. It was received with high acclaim from even the most enthusiastic carnivores in the group. :)

Minnesota Winter Chili was a success! The recipe called for hard wheat to be added to it, but I substituted millet (leftover from sometime when I was possessed by the idea of eating weird whole grains for breakfast), which worked out great. 5/5 stars

Apple and Pomegranate Quinoa and Kale Salad was also a success. I was worried when the dressing called for curry powder, but it was delicious! Of the three quinoa and kale salad recipes I've tried on this blog, I'd say this one was second best. 4/5 stars
