  • Spicy Chicken Chilli: One package of chicken sausage - spicier the better

1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained1 can of kidney beans, rinsed and drained1/2 large red onion, diced2 green onions, chopped1 small yellow bell pepper, diced4 cloves of garlic, minced2 cans of diced tomatoes, drained Oregano, cumin, chili powder and cayenne pepper to taste Lime juice to taste

I cooked the onions and peppers first for about 5 minutes then added the chicken. I drained off the extra liquid and added everything else and simmered it for about 20 mins Real quick and easy!

  • http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Unbelievably-Easy-and-Delicious-Vegetarian-Chili/Detail.aspx (i used 2 cans of chili beans instead of 1 chili bean and 1 white bean. and instead of ranch, i just put in some chili powder and cumin)
  • tempeh
  • steel cut oatmeal (vanilla almond breeze)
  • reduced fat cool whip on a graham cracker and put it in the freezer and it tastes like an ice cream sandwich! seriously good and less than 100 calories even with normal graham crackers
  • hummus (rinsed can of chickpeas, tahini, lemon, bit of oil, bit of the liquid that came in the chick peas, dash of salt, garlic and any red spice that we happen to have. i think that's it!

)

  • my favorite healthy snack:

chocolate whey protein ice banana almond milk or skim milk

1/2 cup black beans orrrr low fat refried beans1 egg, scrambled shallots or onions garlic shredded cheeze low fat sour cream

i just sautee the shallots and garlic in olive oil, add in the beans till they are nice n cooked, set aside, scramble the egg and then put the bean mixture back in the pan and serve on a warm tortilla. add a lil bit of cheese and sour cream and you're good to go

    • chopped onion, green pepper, green onion and tomato for the veggies. add to pan before adding eggs (season eggs with garlic powder)
    • buy dried black beans, soak overnight an cook in crock pot
    • after draining the black beans, heating them separately for a few minutes in a side pot with a jar of cheap salsa (Pace Picante works fine too… basically a store brand that isn’t great for dipping is what you want her) at a ratio of about one 8oz jar/salsa to 2 cans of beans adds a great kick to the beans.
    • franks red hot sauce
    • wrapping (everything organic) one slice of crisp bacon and one scrambled egg in a low-fat whole wheat tortilla and freezing six of these at a time in a quart-size Ziploc. Uncooked extras, like Pico de Gallo and cilantro, can be tossed on just before serving.

    • cuban black beans
    • tortilla recipe and she informed me that there is a mix they sell at mexican markets called Harina Preparada. ALl you do is add water, knead and let sit for 15 min then roll em out.SO EASY and Yummy.
