It's very easy to add in other yummy ingredients...some things I've tried are: sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, ground flax, raisins, sesame seeds, dark chocolate chips, wheat germ, nonfat powdered milk & unsweetened dried coconut.

This chili is packed with flavor and fiber. Make a big batch for a crowd or freeze it in single-serving containers for up to 4 months.

Fruit is often a back-up ingredient or side dish at dinnertime, but it gets a co-starring role in this meal.

learned about this "comfort food" recipe at a Weight Watcher's meeting. Each serving has a four points value. It's great as leftovers or for taking to work for lunch and warming up in the microwave. It reallys satisfies my craving for pizza and makes a great substitution! Also, very low carb.

sub that fatty mayo or miracle whip with some fat free plain greek yogurt. toss the egg yolk too. Instead of the usual plain tuna, add some with a little extra flavor (I picked hickory smoked). Mustard gives it a little pizazz too :)
