Chili Enough For You?
A burbling Crock Pot of hearty chili warms the soul like nothing else. And this dinner easily lends itself to a healthy makeover. A meatless chili is just as delicious. (If you’re going meatless two nights every week, it’ll get you halfway there.) Let your imagination run wild with beans (kidney, garbanzo, black, white) lentils, rice, veggies (from potatoes and tomatoes to squash and spinach), veggie crumbles…endless combinations!

Another option for chili and similar dishes:  Use 1/4, 1/3 or 1/2 of the amount of meat called for in the recipe, and lean meat only. You'll still get the satisfying meaty taste with fewer calories and much less fat & cholesterol.
