Healthy Crockpot Chili

As a working Mommy I get that meal prep is totally more than half the battle in living a healthy fit lifestyle, below is a fabulously easy HEALTHY recipe to get you inspired in the kitchen!



Crockpot Chili
Prep Time: 30 Min  
Cook Time: 4 Hrs High Or 8 Hrs Low

*This is a recipe for a LARGE crock pot, if you have a small one cut the meat, onions, bell peppers & tomato sauce in half (1 pound of Meat, 1 large onion chopped, 2 bell peppers chopped & 14 oz of tomato sauce)*

Ingredients:
-2 Pounds of Ground Meat (Beef, Chicken Or Turkey)
-3 Cloves of Minced Garlic
-2 Large Yellow Onions - Chopped
-3 Bell Peppers (Red, Yellow Or Green) - Chopped
-1 Can Of Red Beans
-1 Can Of White Beans
-28 Oz Can Of Tomato Sauce
-2 Cups Of Broth (Beef Or Chicken Depending on which meat you choose)
-2 TBSP Coconut Oil

Seasonings:
-Oregano
-Adobo
-Paprika
-Chili Powder
-Taco Seasoning
-Pepper
-Sea Salt
-Cumin


1. Season your ground meat to taste – I use adobo! Add 1 1/2 tbs of coconut oil to a frying pan over medium heat, add ground meat and brown it! Once you’re done browning the meat add it to the bottom of your crockpot.

*Depending on what kind of meat you choose to use it will let out grease into your frying pan (LOTS of it if you use ground beef), make sure to drain all oil from the frying pan before removing meat from the pan.*

2. After draining & removing meat, add ½ TBSP of coconut oil to the same frying pan; sauté your chopped onions, bell peppers and garlic until they are nice and soft. Add a pinch of sea salt to taste. Once this mixture is fully cooked layer it on top of your cooked ground beef in the crock pot.
3. Next, drain your cans of beans and add them on top of the sautéed onions, peppers & garlic inside the crockpot. Add your tomato sauce & broth on the top layer over the beans.

*Make sure you gently move the mixture with a spoon to ensure that the tomato sauce & broth mixture get all the way to the bottom of the crock pot.*

4. The last step of this Crockpot masterpiece is to add any of the seasonings listed above into the crockpot. If you like it spicy, add more Chili powder, Paprika & taco seasoning.



This recipe cooks in the crockpot on High for 4 hours or on Low for 8 Hrs. You can eat this dish on its own or have some brown rice on the side.

What is Domestic Violence?

What is Domestic violence? Domestic violence is a crime that almost always has no face or voice,  the victim negates their voice and the criminal remains in the shadows. Domestic violence is the monster that lives under each victims bed and breathes fire into their nightmares in the form of fear, depression,  anxiety, etc. Domestic Violence doesn’t always show up in the form of cuts and bruises on our skin, no the domestic violence I have known and lived is much worse and has produced a  gaping hole in my soul. I lived in a vicious circle of being abused day in and day out, not by physical force – which in my opinion would have been way better than the EMOTIONAL pain that I endured. My domestic violent situation came in the form of venomous words that cut me deeper than any sword could slice flesh. #DomesticViolence does not discriminate against creed nor color, it will not avoid any specific economic class. DV is kin of assault, harassment and even murder and the majority of the ti

Disapearing into the woods without a trace ignites my soul, there's something about getting lost just to find yourself that is so beautiful. Today, I wander but I am not lost. Today, I reclaim myself for who I am and not what patriarchy wants to make me believe I am. It's in these moments of solitude that I can breathe deep into mumma earth and feel the pulsating of the ground beneath me. It is in this moment that I am able to grab hold of the woman that is She, the one who has always lived deep in my soul and was nearly forgotten about. Today, She is awakened in me. Today, she has shaken me to my core and She reminds me that the outside world is not what defines me - nor has it ever. My creatrix power has completed its long period of dormance and She is ready to shape with her hands and mold mind and her soul I am her and She is me.

My wish for my three
