It's that time of year, stew time. No, not a time when you brood on emotions, on that thing you said to your co-worker that they gave you an odd look for, and what the ultimate meaning of the universe is. You can do all that, too, while you sup on a delicious mix of fresh vegetables, black beans, and homemade cheesy quesadilla dippers. Stew time means filling, warm delicious time, and saving the sads for another day. Tip: To remove the core of a tomato, carefully cut a shallow circle around the stem with a small knife, then remove circle.

Meatlovers! If adding protein, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook with 1 tsp. olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. If using diced chicken breasts, stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. If using Impossible burger, break up burger until heated through, 4-6 minutes. If using ground beef, break up beef until no pink remains and beef reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. If using ground turkey, break up turkey until no pink remains and turkey reaches minimum internal temperature, 7-9 minutes. Add to stew as desired.
