So with this being the start of a new year everyone is going through their diet/workout craze.....yes I am one of those people (in my defense I plan to stick this one out). I thought I would share with you all what I am eating on as I go through my South Beach Diet. The picture above is a small serving of what the South Beach Diet calls "Chock Full of Veggies Chili" and what I'd like to call the best darn salad I have ever made. Below you will see some more pics and the recipes/ingredients that I used to make both. I really did enjoy the chili and I recommend making it.
Chock Full of Veggies Chili
Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 Bell Peppers (any color) chopped
1 1/2 cups of chopped mushroom (please note I did not use this)
1 large onion chopped
2 Celery stalks chopped
3 Garlic cloves minced
1 tablespoon chili powder (I used way more than that)
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin (I used way more than that)
2 cans of pinto beans (15 ounce) (I only used one)
1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, no salt added, with juices
Directions:
In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add peppers, mushrooms, onion, celery, and garlic; cook, stirring, until vegetables begin to soften, about 7 mins. Add chili powder, oregano, cumin, and salt; cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes more. Add beans and tomatoes with their juices (I drained most of the bean juice). Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until chili is fragrant ans slightly thickened, 25 to 30 minutes.
