I realize that this picture makes this chili look … not very appetizing. But I promise it is way good and really easy!Â
1 pounds lean ground beef
1/2 c. chopped onion
2 cans (15.5 oz each) chili beans in sauce, undrained
2 cans (14.5 oz each) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (10.75 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 t. chili powder
Brown ground beef and then add chopped onion. Meanwhile combine the beans, tomatoes, soup and chili powder and heat through. Add the mean and onions and heat through.Â
Enjoy!

Hi all! I am officially back from vacation! I say “officially” because I returned home to my house Sunday night. But of course it has taken 5 full days to readjust and get caught up on everything after being away! My husband and I and our friends went on an amazing Southern Caribbean cruise visiting St Thomas, Dominca, Barbados, St Lucia, St Kitts and St Martin. We ate, relaxed, hiked, ate, played in the ocean, read books in the shade, ate, swam through caves, swam in waterfalls and did I mention ate so much wonderful food? It was such a wonderful break from life. But now I am back and ready to go! You will be getting more recipe posts and my usual stuff next week. For now, go check out some pictures of my vacation on the Photo Gallery page!
Have a great weekend!

MMMMMMmmmmm I love me some Chobani yogurt! This is seriously the best greek yogurt I have ever tasted. Even their plain flavor didn’t need any sweetener. And I have never had a plain greek yogurt that I didn’t have to add stevia to. I am so so sad that Chobani isn’t carried anywhere in Utah. I have heard that some Costco’s in the midwest have it… So if you live somewhere in that general vacinity, go and find it! You WON’T be dissapointed, I promise! You can run on over here and see if it is carried near you. Chobani has some great flavors and they are so smooth and taste like custard. Pomegranate, honey, pineapple or strawberry, anyone?
If you are new to the greek yogurt scene and are wondering what the fuss is all about. Visit Chobani’s website where they tell you all about greek yogurt and specifically Chobani greek yogurt.
Ready for the BIG NEWS? If you are involved the this month’s Biggest Loser contest for my clients, you have a chance to win a case of Chobani yogurt delivered right to your door, no matter where you live! The grand prize and second place prize packages include a box of Chobani yogurt. Now, if that’s not motivation to work it, I don’t know what is!Â
If you’re not involved in the contest, and Chobani is sold near you, go to their website and print up a coupon for a free cup of greek yogurt! And always know that I am jealous that you can buy this product whenever you want and I can’t. 
Legal Disclaimer: I was sent this yogurt as a free trial for the purpose of review but that fact did not play into my positive review. I honestly love this yogurt.

These pancakes are so good and they are a very common Sunday breakfast at our house in the winter.Â
2 c. whole wheat flour
3 T. brown sugar
2 t. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
1 t. ground allspice
1 t. cinnamon
½ t. ground ginger
½ t. salt
1 ½ c. milk
1 c. pumpkin puree (canned pumpkin)
1 egg
2 T. vegetable oil
1 T. vinegar
- In separate bowl, mix together the milk, pumpkin, egg, oil and vinegar. Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon, ginger and salt in another bowl. Stir powder mixture into pumpkin mixture just enough to combine.                                           Â
- Heat a lightly greased griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour desired amount of pancake batter onto griddle and brown both sides. I always press about 7 chocolate chips into the pancake after I’ve poured it on the griddle.  Serve hot with natural syrup or some peanut butter.
These cook up SO full and fluffy! Almost like a big cookie! You’ll love them!

Oh my gosh you guys. I tried THE best sugar free protein bar today. It is made by Small World Beauty and the flavor is Coconut Coco Cream. It tastes JUST like a Mounds bar. Seriously.Â
So what is your first hesitation with sugar free products? Wondering about artificial sweeteners? These bars have no artificial sweeteners, no trans fats and no hydrogenated oils. They are also gluten free. Isn’t that awesome! And they taste SO GOOD. Hubby even liked them. He had a bite and said “Oh, that’s good. It tastes like a Mounds bar.” So there you have it. We all know he doesn’t like fake diet foods.Â
And here’s the best news… You can buy these bars from… ME! They are $2 a bar and I will have tons in my little hands in about a week! I am so excited about this, you guys. These are so good and so good for you. I definately feel good about telling my clients they can include these in their plans. Let me just say though, that nothing beats out whole foods. BUT, we all need something we can grab on the run or keep in our purse, right?! This is way better than any protein bar you’d get at the store.
If you live close to me it wil be easy to purchase from me. If not I can ship them to you and regular shipping charges will apply. I will only ship if a minimum of 5 bars are purchased (only $10!). But if you are local to me you can buy any quantity.Â
Now, speaking of my clients, some of you know I am running a Biggest Loser Contest for the month of January. There are 7 opportunities to win prizes and a free Small World Beauty bar will be included in EVERY prize pack!!! So everyone involved better start working their booties so you can try one of these bars for free!
(Legal Disclaimer: I was sent these bars as a free promotion to review and give away to clients. This fact in no ways affects the honesty in my review. I really do LOVE these bars.)
