Well here I am back again to blog. I really like www.myfitness pal.com, but they don't make it very easy to login recipes and then figure out calories. So I'm going to list what I'm making for dinner tomorrow night and figure out my calories from here. I need an app on my phone to be able to blog easier from here because I'm doing it from the website right now and it's kind of difficult. If it was on my phone, I would be more apt to use this blog again.
Dinner: cal
Black Bean Chili
Ingredients:
2 Tbsp. olive oil (240)
2 large onions, diced (60)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped (40)
3 (14 oz.) cans diced tomatoes, undrained (230)
2 tsp. cumin
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
10 oz. pkg. frozen corn (200)
2 (15 oz.) cans black beans, drained and rinsed (760)
1 cup picante or taco sauce (80)
Preparation:
In a heavy skillet, saute onions in the olive oil until tender, stirring frequently. Add garlic and cook 2 minutes longer. Add cumin and cayenne pepper, and whatever other spices you might like. Cook for two minutes longer.
Mix all ingredients into a 4-5 quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on low about 10 hours. If you have a newer, hotter cooking crockpot, cook on low for 6-7 hours.
This recipe made a huge pot of chili. I'm pretty sure there is at least 12 cups in the pot.
