Last night I had a serious urge for chili and whipped up my very first batch ever! I decided to make it vegetarian since I'm on a little break from meat after seeing the documentary Forks Over Knives. What goes better with chili than some buttery warm corn bread covered in melting raw honey?
I based my chili recipe off of 101 Cookbooks' recipe but cut out the grain and changed up the beans.
Today I'm really feeling the plaid! All this rain and gloom makes me want to curl up on my couch with a cup of hot peppermint tea in my favorite men's flannel plaid shirt and leggings. That isn't an option so I'm going to make the most out of my day by being extra productive at work and then cooking up a hearty stew for dinner (recipe to come tomorrow).
This was a weekend for relaxation and rejuvenation. My job is amazing because the company that I work for (Integrative Nutrition) takes us on a yoga retreat twice every year. I took one yoga class, but spent the majority of my time there outside, breathing in fresh, crisp, cool, fall air and eating healthy and clean food.
Get up off of the couch this weekend and accomplish something. Whether that means cleaning your bathtub, running 5 miles, or making someone smile, just get up and do it. Let me know what you're planning to accomplish this weekend!
