Spicy Beef Chili No one will know that there is ground turkey or tons of veggies in this spicy beef chili and only two Weight Watchers points! When I was in Atlanta at my friend Carla’s Weight Watchers meeting, a woman weighing in after her first week said “I am so sick of chicken and turkey!”  So I asked her “they why not eat some...

I had the privilege of grilling at none other than Grillin with Dad’s house to make grilled buffalo chicken chili. It took my OG buffalo chicken chili to a whole new level!  Maciek even demonstrated how to spatchcock the chicken so it cooks in about 45 minutes.  We bought a Miller’s Amish chicken from Mariano’s – love that we shopped at our favorite grocery store...

Black bean and quinoa chili is so hearty and filling and good for you. The reason it is so good is because the base of the chili is from my friend Nicole’s black bean and quinoa burger recipe. This black bean and quinoa mixture is great not only for burgers, but I’ll be making several dishes from this filling this week.  While I love meal...

Pumpkin Chicken Chili Recipe I know pumpkin chicken chili sounds weird, but this is an amazing chili.

I wish I could tell you I am feeling 100% better, but not yet.  I take that back – I feel fine, but the cough continues.  My nose is less stuffy, so I am taking that sign that I am making progress.  I was happy that while my workday yesterday was steady busy, it wasn’t crazy busy.  Whew! Breakfast was two of my breakfast biscuits...

I hit the ground running at work yesterday it was so busy.  But I was lucky enough that my train actually got into the station a bit early so I had time to eat my breakfast before the craziness ensued. Another 6 smart point breakfast – 5 for the quiche, and 1 for the salad.  I decided to dice my apples up and put it...

Another whirlwind weekend is in the books.  What a crazy weather weekend we had in Chicagoland.  It was chilly on Friday, then Saturday it would be sunny and blue skies one second, then I’d look outside and it was snowing sideways like a blizzard, and we didn’t get out of the 30s at all.  Then yesterday it got up to 70 degrees – insane!  But...
