| Healthy Haul from Earthfare today! My favorite food product ever is hidden in this picture. Will reveal in Favorite Things Thursday. | | |

After the long drive home from work today, I needed some healthy comfort food, so chili sounded awesome to me. Other blog friends have liked this recipe, so I thought I'd give it a try. The recipe can be found
here at
skinnytaste.com . I made a few omissions and substitutions to suit my taste and healthy eating philosophy.
 |
| Omissions: sour cream and chives (I avoid dairy whenever possible. As my 8 year says, "Momma gets all weird when she eats dairy." No intentional avoidance of chives, just didn't have any.) Additions: red pepper flakes and some brown sugar. I like my chili spicy hot, baby. |
|
 |
| Salad was the perfect accompaniment: organic baby spring mix with fresh tomatoes from our garden and Newman's Own Olive oil and vinegar. |

After a little tweaking I liked the recipe. Before the tweaks it tasted rather bland to me. Also could have used some salt, but I avoided adding any because I assumed the beans had a mountain load already. It definitely hit the spot for healthy comfort food.
