Chili always warms our hearts, and when it is exceptionally healthy and life-giving, it brings us to our knees.
It's nice to eat chili on a cold day or a rainy day, even on a sunny day - whatever the weather, it is there for us to make us feel right at home. Amazing how a bowl of something familiar and delicious can brighten our mood in an instant!
And one-pot meals are fantastic for a weekday meal. In goes the garlic and onions, then the ground beef and the spicy Italian sausage sizzle to perfection, and 5 minutes later, everything else is tossed into the pot, ready to be simmered till dinnertime.
If you need an easy meal where there are plenty of leftovers to be refrigerated or frozen, this is a good one to choose; of course, slow cooker chile Verde is the second best option.
While your keto chunky chili is bubbling merrily on the stove, you can be well on your way to diving into an avocado, cucumber and cilantro tuna salad, which can serve as a portion of your lunch for the following day.
You could also invest 15 minutes of your time on a simple salad that will add some fresh greens and a bit more olive oil to your plate.
