Pumpkin Chilli

A New Fall Favorite 

When your 4 year old sits down to eat pumpkin chili with you for dinner you start to really take a step back. 

It's in those moments I begin to realize what a powerful life lesson I have taught to him over the last few years. 

He really does eat clean and the best part is that on most days he actually likes it too. 

Thankful he's going to grow up knowing healthy foods can taste great and be good for you too. 

Proud of my little foodie. I hope this recipe is one that your family loves as much as ours does.

Hearty Winter Chilli

Hearty Winter Chilli 

Lately all we have been craving is warm cozy dinners at our house. This weeks forecast had cold temperatures and some snowflakes in the forecast so we decided it called for some hearty chilli. I combined two recipes to make this one. Some of the recipe was from Beachbody's Turbo Fire Chilli and some of the recipe was from my family recipe for chilli. I wish it didnt have the canned goods in it, but it's certianly better for you than canned chilli! Stay warm and cozy this week and enjoy if you make this one for your family!
