Sweet potato chili



This here I will be making tomorrow night for dinner and I CANT WAIT!!! 

Sweet potato chili (vegetarian can be done as well) 

Ingredients:

2 cans diced tomatoes (low sodium if you can find it) 
2 cans tomato sauce (low sodium if you can find it) 
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoons agave 
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1” pieces
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans kidney beans, drained; or 3 cups cooked kidney beans (start with 1.5 c dry beans, soak overnight)
1 cup corn, frozen and thawed
1 lbs ground beef sirloin (optional)
1 cup low sodium chicken broth



Instructions:

~If using cooked beans, soak 1.5 cups kidney beans overnight, rinse and pre-cook while preparing the rest of the chili.

~Roast the corn until most pieces have a dark/charred corner, either in your slow cooker, if it has that function, or on the stove top. A dry pan or pot works best. Set aside corn and brown the meat (in slow cooker or on stove stop).

~Combine all ingredients in the base of your slow cooker and stir to mix well. 

~Cook on low for 8 hours.

2B Mindset

4 years ago.. a spin instructor, overworking out and under eating. I was put on medications for the lack of nutrition. I struggled with binge eating, smoke to lose weight and had a terrible relationship with food!  All the years of restricting myself or overeating caught up with me. I was left exhausted, depleted and desperate.   But, 4 years ago, I learned how to turn food into fuel so I could FEEL better and live my best life. I used portion control and clean eating to go off medications and have a better relationship with food BUT still have struggled with the scale and balance.  NEXT WEEK, I learn how to take all of those negative cognitions around food and remove them from my life... for good.  The 2B Mindset Weight Loss Program, coming May 2, 2018, is a breakthrough weight loss program that will have you feeling full and satisfied not hungry and deprived.

How many calories are you putting in your coffee?

Bottom line, your saving TONS of calories by switching to either black coffee or coffee with unsweetened almond milk! Refer back to my blog about ways that I flavor up my café :) Think about it: 20 calories per tablespoon of half & half and 16 calories per tablespoon of sugar.... SO, if you have 2 cups of coffee a day with 2 TBS of half & half and 1 TBS of sugar 7 days a week, that is 784 calories!!! If you have 3 cups a day, you are looking at 1,176 calories.. YIKES Lets replace your fixin's with unsweetened almond milk! 4 calories per 2 TBS equals to 56 calories per week if you drink 2 cups a day! HMMMM Check out this great article! http://www.eatouteatwell.com/how-many-calories-are-you-putting-into-your-coffee/
