Chicken chili

Chick Chili 

So I meant to take a picture ,but completely forgot about the picture until I was already halfway through my lunch, oh well. Hopefully I'll remember when I have the leftovers ! 

Got home from visiting my daughters school and working out, and I was not in the mood for salad. Needing  to use some left over chicken we had I threw this together really quick. You could easily make this ahead of time freeze and take for lunch later in the week.

Left over rotisserie chicken we had about 4 ounces left 

heaping teaspoon minced garlic 

1/2  medium onion chopped

1 can dark red kidney beans 

1 can black beans 

1 can tomato sauce 

2 tablespoon chili powder 

few dashes of cumin 

salt/pepper to taste 

Tbsp butter 

Add butter, chopped onion, garlic and chicken since it was leftover rotisserie it was already cooked saute until onions are cooked. Add all of the cans the tomato sauce, kidney beans, black beans I drained the black beans not the kidney beans. Add the chili powder and cumin stir heat to boiling reduce hit and let simmer for 30 minutes. Makes 4 cups each cup is 315 calories. 

Garnish with a Tbsp of plain Greek yogurt and a small bit of shredded cheese. Speaking of shredded cheese be sure and change out the pre shredded  kind for the block kind and shred your own. There are chemicals in the shredded bagged cheese to keep the cheese from clumping together those chemicals are not in the block cheese. 

A cup and a half of chili an ounce of cheese and a Tbsp of Greek yogurt is 602 calories. Keep in mind beans are higher in carbs so this is perfect for lunch, if you are trying to lose weight you need to stick with a lean meat and veggie for dinner ! Happy healthy eating !

Change 

Most of us don't like the word change.

It can be scary overwhelming, but it can also be the best thing that ever happened to you. 

 4 months into our lifestyle change

In December we decided it was time for a lifestyle change
we were addicted to processed chemical laden foods. It was literally killing us ,but no matter how hard we tried changing our diet , exercising and doing the right thing we just could never stick with it. We might or might not restart the whole process every  Monday maybe lose a pound or two only to regain that weight the very following weekend. By Friday we were tired grouchy and WANTED  to EAT there was always a get together, Birthday party or something to celebrate with all manner of food so we did.

We were MISERABLE. Often exhausted , grouchy , achy , full to bursting. Slaves to junk food , and soda. Food was ALWAYS on our minds trying to stay away from  it, or feeling guilty when we couldn't. Or feeling hungry and deprived when we tried to be GOOD. So how did we overcome all that in a world that revolves around bad food with bodies that were addicted, exhausted  and sick ? We started our lifestyle change with a detox 8 day challenge using natural supplements designed to actually feed and support your body on a cellular level this support allowed us to transition through the  changes necessary for us to overcome our addictions while learning healthy habits. We were skeptical at first, could we do it ,would it work ? Happy to day those concerns did not last long.  It wasn't hard at all ,in fact it was the easiest thing we have ever done. By day 3 of the 8 day challenge we felt AMAZING.  By day 9 health food tasted good, our energy was through the roof , we were sleeping and feeling so much better  ! I had lost 8 pounds and my hubby 10 how was this even possible ? As my husband says he didn't realize how bad he felt until he started feeling good. We haven't looked back now we are celebrating our new lifestyle nearly 80 pounds lighter between the two of us. If you want to transform your health  and a healthy life from the inside out. We are here to tell you it is possible it is very doable and it is easier than you can imagine. So wherever you are know that you aren't alone we've been there and  we are here to tell you there is hope, pain relief ,healing ,and freedom. All you have to do is decide to just begin.
