Chili: Easy to make and flexible to your chosing

-

Eating Healthier does not feel like you are giving up so much! (except weight!) Gain variety and some challenges but don't let it block you! start with baby steps! Above, I have a photo of chili I just made today with a photo of the ingredients (expect the 1 lb ground meat). If you have no clue on the spices, then just get a mix packet, they are fairly low in carbs... READ labels and compare major brands with store brands. You never know unless you read and compare labels and ALWAYS make sure you are comparing the same "Portions"! SIMPLE CHILI (no beans, and lots-o-options)
  • 1 lb ground meat (beef, chicken, turkey)
  • 2 cans diced tomatoes include liquid!
  • 20 oz or so of Crushed Tomatoes
  • Spices (packet or put in your own mixture)
  • Chopped Onion or Peppers optional
On Stove top in one pot!
  • Brown meat in 6Qt Covered Stockpot with about 1-2 Tblsps of Olive oil.
  • Then put in spices, mix well, keeping heat on.
  • Pour in diced and crushed tomatoes (and any other optional ingredients you choose).
  • Cook for 20 min or simmer as long as you like. *Fine for a slow cooker too, just brown meat first, pour all ingredients in, cook!
TOPPINGS: Top your chili or try putting your toppings in the bowl first then load the chili on top!
  • shredded cheddar cheese
  • sour cream
  • chopped onions
  • chips (low in carbs of course)
ENJOY!!!!

your turn: Do you have a simple one to share with us? or What is your chili recipe?

 Woah it has been a while but I have not stopped being concerned for my health and for others. I still watch what I eat and encourage others to do the same. Then I need to get more active. Since last summer, it has not been the best. Walking more has been my current goal. How about you? This is a photo of me and my girls. I feel a huge responsibility to make sure they know nutrition and lifestyle choices: benefits and consequences.  Click on my Health Living Resources and let's do 2023 right!

Breakfast Shake: Skeptic to Believer

Eat Breakfast - Never Skip IT! My Old Mindset... Food is just wonderful. I feel we should EAT! So when I see 'meal replacements', I'm tuned off. My New Thinking... We are not "replacing the meal"... we are still HAVING the Meal! A wonderful way to get what you need quick, easy, and delicious! It's a mindset that I now understand. So lets Eat, even if it's in a cup! I used to eat... Yummy omelets packed with veggies, not too bad for you really, but about an hour after, lets just say I had some less-than-desired symptoms. Then about 2-4 hours after, I was a little "munchie" or "snacky". Not good when you want to limit snacks (increasing insulin production in your body, with me, pcos). Weightloss was slow, and not much increased energy. Now I eat... A " JJ Virgin Breakfast Shake " (a link to article with free recipe). I use JJ Virgin's Shake/Smoothie Recipes  a (link to pdf of recipes) and the results: Love the Tast...
