Chili

Who's hungry for chili???  I AM!  Here's a great recipe that I tried this week and it went over well with my family.  Paired with a big salad it's sure to warm your tummy....in a HEALTHY way!

I didn't go the expense of organic and used whatever beans I had available in my pantry.  Also, I left out the sweetener but add it if you like sweeter chili.  Some jalapenos would be good to if you like it hot!!!  Topped mine with plain Greek Yogurt and skim mozzarella.

Delish......thanks Jamie Eason!!! (I stole the recipe from her)
