I found this recipe for veggie chili and it's really good. I substituted the basic diced tomatoes with diced canned tomatoes made for chili recipes. It added a nice flavor since it came mixed with tons of spices already. Enjoy!
Vegetable Chili
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
6 large garlic cloves, chopped
3 14 1/2-ounce cans diced tomatoes in juice
1 4-ounce can diced mild green chilies
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 15- to 16-ounce cans kidney beans, drained
2 green bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 10-ounce package frozen corn kernels
Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté 5 minutes. Add tomatoes with juices, green chilies, chili powder, cumin and oregano. Cook 10 minutes to blend flavors. Add beans, bell peppers and corn. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until chili is thick, stirring occasionally, about 35 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

It's been a while....
So... it's been a while since I've written. Life has been good, no snow, that's helps. I ate something Wednesday night that had me out of work for 2 days! It was horrible. Today was the first day that I ate a full meal! Thank goodness, I had to make veggie chili to take to a Junior League Done In A Day event.
I ordered a few items during the blizzard and finally started getting them in last week. First was this cute tray from Pottery Barn. My initials were done wrong, but I actually still like it, so I won't bother going through the trouble of sending it back.

Geaux Saints!
So, I'm really excited that the Saints won! I'm now watching the Ravens. The weather actually warmed up a bit today, I think that it was about 51 degrees! We had our first Pitch & Putt golf club meeting of the 2010 golf season. I can't wait for the weather to break, it felt great being on the golf course today!

Granny turns 87!
Happy birthday Granny! I can't believe that my Granny turned 87 wonderful years old today! She's such an incredible person; beautiful, generous, spiritual, loving, kind, awesome! We have grown to be friends, something that I cherish. She said that it was really cold today in Baton Rouge, something she's not use to, stay warm Granny!

Day 1: Consciousness Cleanse
So... I started the Consciousness Cleanse from Oprah. I love doing this kind of work, it always makes me feel so good. I have some new professional goals that I'm setting for myself and I'm truly excited about what is to come. Though I am somewhat afraid, I will use this fear to fuel my desires to succeed! Bring it on! With my angels by my side, I can't lose.
I'm back on my quest to lose those crazy holiday pounds. Why does it take a minute to eat and 6 months to lose? I'm back in the saddle today. I tracked what I ate, went to body pump and then did spinning. I had a nice healthy dinner, tilapia, broccoli, and couscous. Go me!
JW mentioned wanting to do some trips this spring maybe a cruise and a long weekend to Hilton Head. Who doesn't want to look cute out on the links!
Affirmation for the day: I am worthy of living my heart's desires!
