Soup last night, CHILI tonight!



Recommended Posts

I'm making my yummy chili tonight. I use a pound of extra lean ground beef, browned with chopped garlic and onions and drained. Add a big can of Tomato sauce, a can of petite diced tomatos, a can of corn, a can of original Rotel, and a packet of McCormick's chili seasoning. Cook on low for a few hours, and voila! Yummy chili. You can add Beans for extra Protein, but I prefer my chili to be beanless.

Chili is a wonderful comfort food for me. I don't like it at restaurants, I don't like it from a can or a box..

But when I make it from scratch, and leave it on low on the stove all day.. mmmmmm.

I do love it, especially on the cold days.

I make it by browning meat with onions, then adding garlic, Tomato paste, Water, cloves, bay leaves, salt, pepper.. then cooking it for a while, then adding kidney Beans and cooking a while longer (slow all day long).. take out the cloves and leaves.

I use to also like putting it on rice or macaroni noodles, but I enjoy it just as much without and no need to add all the extra calories.

Yummmmmmm, I absolutely love chili, I make it all the time.

These days I skip the rice (or for the kids I serve it on organic corn chips) and just have it as is, with a good dollop of thick natural yogurt and some chopped avocado and Tomato.< /p>

I like mine FULL of Beans though.

Its healthy, cheap, high in Protein and fibre (if you have the beans) and also vegetable based with all the tomato. Perfect food really.

Ooh, I hadn't thought of putting bay leaves in. I'll have to try that next time. I'm going to freeze some of the chili, so that I'll have it whenever I want it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
