Warm Your Tummy with Chili
Want something warm and healthy to feed your family this weekend? Try this healthy chili -
How to make this easy and nutritious chili:
28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
14 ounce can diced tomatoes ( like Rotel )
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup filtered water.
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1” pieces

2 cloves garlic, minced
15 ounce can dark kidney beans ( drained and well rinsed )
15 ounce can black beans ( drain and then rinse well )

Add some ground flax seed ( 4 - 8 Tablespoons ) for even more nutrition!
After you brown the sirloin and drain the grease - pour a couple tablespoons of Olive oil in the bottom of your Crockpot.
Then add the browned beef and the chopped sweet potatoes and red pepper and onion. Add the rest of your ingredients. Give it a good stir or two.
Cook on low for 8 - 10 hours.
Or in a large soup pot on the stove for 3 hours on low heat.
This heart healthy chili is sure to warm your tummy on a cold Winter's night!

Cooking With Quinoa - Nature's Superfood
Have you discovered the many benefits of quinoa? Try some soon for an easy way to add fiber, protein and iron to any meal!
Quinoa has been around for centuries - dating back to the ancient Inca's. It is a true superfood - rich in complete protein, iron, fiber, and magnesium and vitamin B2.
How to cook Quinoa -
Add 1 cup of quinoa to 2 cups of water in a pot. Cook on high until the water boils. Once the water is boiled, add 1 tablespoon or two of Olive Oil (or your favorite alternative), a handful of chopped walnuts ( optional ) , and salt to flavor. Cover and let cook for 12-15 minutes. Check every few minutes and give it a good stir to make sure the quinoa does not burn. When your quinoa appears translucent and light, fluff the quinoa with a spoon or fork.
Add quinoa to sweet potatoes and spinach for a super healthy (and tasty) salad!
Or add some to your next batch of homemade chili!
We've had good luck with Bob's Red Mill Organic Grain Quinoa
from Amazon.com. If you stock up and save, they ship it right to your front door for free! Quinoa has a delicate nutty flavor and is very easy to prepare, Widely versatile, it's great by itself or in any recipe that calls for whole grain. Bob's Quinoa has been thoroughly rinsed and air dried, so it can be used without rinsing.
Add some to your next crock-pot creation instead of rice.
Or use in a favorite Winter soup!
May your home always be warm and bright!
