Chili Pot

Just got back from dance class a little while ago…and my foot didn’t hurt, YAY! I made a little roast beef sandwich on a sandwich thing with cuc’s and tomatoes…sorry went un-pictured.

The pictures are from last night when I made Turkey and Bean chili from Real Simple magazine!!

It was part of their special section on 400 calorie meals (or less!).

This one was less, right around 337 calories!

The recipe makes 4 servings, so I doubled it so we’d have lots of leftovers.

I was also SO excited to christen this baby:

Isn’t she beautiful :)

Using my new pot (well Dutch oven technically), made sautéing peppers, onions, and garlic so much more enjoyable.

All the ingredients.

Since I double the recipe and would need 4 cans of beans, I did half kidney beans and half black beans…cause I love me some black beans!

Simmered. I did end up adding some more chili powder, cumin, a little garlic powder, and a couple teaspoons of cocoa powder…but all in all a great recipe! Tasted even better today at lunch.

Served with just a tiny bit of cheese, low-fat sour cream, and lots of fresh cilantro.

IMG_7971Also baked up some cornbread…I heart cornbread.

This was a delicious and filling chili, and you get a lot for that 337 calorie serving.

P.S. Lately, my chocolate craving has been satisfied by pieces of this little orange ball of love. This was in my Christmas stocking :)

Workout Updates!

Saturday (1/23) Hot Yoga…one of the sweatiest in a long time!

Thursday (1/28) – Hot Yoga – I have 1 more class left on my card that expires the 29th!
