madaboutmoose's Journal, 21 January 2015

I have a few minutes before I dash out of the office to a family visit so thought I'd write quickly since I won't be able to accomplish much in these few minutes in any other productive way.

Made a white bean chili courtesy of Dr. McDougall's site yesterday that was super easy and unbelievably delicious spooned over vegan corn bread.

1 celery stalk chopped
1 carrot chopped
1 bell pepper chopped
1 small onion chopped (onion, carrot, bell pepper and celery cooked in a little bit of veggie broth prior to mixing in the rest)
3 cans of white beans (drained and rinsed)
1 can chopped jalapenos
1 can diced tomatoes
chili powder
cumin
crushed red pepper (all to your tastes and likings)
I threw in a dash of cinnamon

Then after it had cooked for 30 minutes (and sat for the rest of the day because I threw this together in the morning) I added 2 cups chopped spinach.

I think you could add whatever veggies flipped your switch and change up the spices to fit your desires as well. It was a great hit with DH. I used the cornbread mix from Trader Joes and used plant based milk, applesauce instead of oil and Energ egg replacer so the cornbread would be vegan. It turned out dense and sweet and perfect with the beans.

I've been having headaches pretty regularly which doesn't thrill me. I don't know why. I'm hoping they go away with cleaner eating. It really messes up my schedule every morning.

Busy as usual. Overwhelmed as usual too. Doing okay though. Doing well with this WOE. Being present is an endless challenge but fortunately I get many opportunities to remember and be present in being present. LOL!!!

Hoping all is well with my fellow journeyers here on Fat Secret. I am forever grateful for the company. Forever grateful for life. Take care!!

Oh that white chili sounds so delish!!!! You made me laugh at being present. We have to live for the moment and it does take practice. LOL!
