Simple Eats // #1

This meal was extremely simple, especially when I make something different for myself than what the guys eat. Did I mention that it really tests my self control at times? That's been my biggest challenge when dieting, really. Is knowing when to say no to certain things that I really want. Like pizza or ice cream. Ugh.

Anyways, I cook a single serving of 10 minute brown rice, a serving of peas, feta cheese and mozzarella cheese. I absolutely love it. It serves as a good lunch or dinner. If you want, you can add meat of course. I try refraining from that.

What are some simple recipes you love?

Hot Sauce - to desire (completely optional)

1 clove ofGarlic

2 tsp. Garlic Salt

2 Cans Light Red Beans - Drained and Rinsed

3 Cans Diced Tomatos

Prep Time: 15 min

Cook Time: 2 hours on High

Instructions:

Take the drained beans and the cans of diced tomato and put them in the crock pot on low temperature (my crockpot only has four settings: off, low, hot and warm). Stir it together until its completely mixed. Ad 2 tsp of chili powder, garlic salt, cumin, salt and pepper and 1 clove of garlic. I like things spicy, so I added 6 dashes of my hottest hot sauce (it made it super spicy). Stir all together and let sit on High temperature. Over time, season to your preferred taste ( I added a lot of seasonings afterwards).

Chili!

It tasted absolutely delish! It was spicey, but tasty! Enjoy! xoxo Brittany
