So, this post will not so much be "from the heart".....but more "from the belly." As many know, I love to read about health-related topics. :-) I have been an on-again/off-again vegetarian since High School....and even the times I would have meat would be very infrequently. I really do not like meat, and I think about the animals. Now I think about the even greater global and environmental issues regarding factory farming and animals (in addition to the cruel treatment of them in these environments). So, I have been meat-free again for over a year. But anyway, I love to read about vegetarian and vegan recipes (and making sure I get enough vitamins and protein). I have been a vegan a few times during my life....but it doesn't usually last too long (maybe one of these days I will be one full time - ha). The recipe above is a very good recipe. I found it on a vegan blog. The link is as follows: http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2007/09/gold-rush-chili.html The only changes I made were I used garlic powder, roasted red chili peppers (instead of the pepper), and regular oregano (a little extra chili powder). I have made it 3 times over the past 3 weeks. It is super yummy, super healthy, and pretty low-calorie.
Another excellent Couscous and Butternut Squash recipe I used for Thanksgiving was: http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/butternut-squash-cumin-couscous-10000001548736/ A "not so pretty" picture of this is below:
I did not add the raisins to this recipe....as I do not like raisins in food items. But it was soooo yummy!!! I really wanted a protein-rich food since I was coming from running my 4-miler race Thanksgiving Day morning....this met my needs!!! :-)
Hopefully you can enjoy these yummy, healthy, protein and fiber-packed foods!!!!
