I’m new to this. The menu planner keeps using “chili” for snacks….. what is it made up of? What are the ingrediebts? is it just tomato, onion, garlic and chili? Or something else. I live in the Uk, so would just like to know
Hi, tinamich1, and welcome. Part of that depends on the type of chili noted – if with or without meat, for example. Beyond that, whatever home recipe or purchased product has all-natural, lean ingredients. It is intentionally generic in the Menu Planner list to enable people from around the world to make their selection.
Thank you, that’s very helpful. To be honest I’m getting a little frustrated with it as a lot if the foods are so ifficult to purchase in the Uk. but thank you again 🙂
tinamich , I just posted a recipe for chili in Successful Beginnings & support!! Maybe it will help!
Hi, tinamich1. That feeling is absolutely understandable, but it honestly is not likely to last. Eventually you will find the foods or healthy options that are just as good. Try health-oriented grocery stores, and even some warehouse-type shops. If you are struggling with certain ones, please repost, and we will help you.
I just started this past Monday. I could not find the organic chili, so I improvised and used 1 cup of chili beans a an oz or so of ground round that I cooked. Do you think that this is ok. Also, I did find the organic unflavored popcorn but to me it taste just awful, is there anything else that I can use as a snack in its place?
Hi, htur. Your chili idea is exactly what we’re after – cooking from scratch as much as possible. Alternatives to popcorn for snacks include mini-ricecakes (also light like popcorn) and whole grain pretzels. To dress up your popcorn, try putting macadamia nut oil in an oil mister and spraying it on; if you need salt, maybe find a healthier product like “Aztec” or “Himalaya” salt, or try “light” salt (reduced sodium). It sounds like a lot of fuss, but once you get started, you’ll see that you can turn a potential health disaster into a superfood.
