Healthy Eating

Physicians for years have been concerned about the growing increase of diabetes, and heart related diseases throughout the Unites States. High intakes of sugary foods and unnecessary fats, are the majority to blame these days. 

Our family struggles with weight issues and medical problems but despite all these things, we try to eat healthier and live a more active lifestyle. Slowly things are changing and little by little so is my waistline. So today I would like to include a healthy recipe which our family enjoys, and some healthy heart tips that my own personal physician recommended to me.

                      Stacey's Magnificent Homemade Chili:

•  2 lbs of cooked beef or chicken.  
• 2 or more fresh tomatoes cubed. 
• 1 chopped fresh green pepper.
• 1 sweet onion sliced to desire.
• 2 cans of low sodium tomatoe sauce. 
• 2 packets of low sodium chili spice.
• Fresh or powdered garlic optional to taste.
• 1 can of red Louisiana kidney beans rinsed clean. 
• 1 can of Pinto beans rinsed clean.
• 2 cups of warm water. 
• Add salt to chili when ready to serve.

So basicially all you do is chop up all the things that need chopping. Brown all the things that need browning. Don't forget to drain the grease or if you are like me, rinse the meat also. Throw in all your ingredients ACCEPT for the BEANS and mix it up well. Then add your water. You can add more if you need. Let the Chili simmer for while before adding the beans last. After you add the beans you should be ready to eat in about 20-30 minutes. Watch the chili so it doesn't burn and turn heat on a medium low.

ENJOY!!!!
