Top with whatever you'd like: cheese, onions, sour cream, jalapeños, etc. Just a note: not sure if you noticed or not….there are FIVE tablespoons of chili powder in this recipe. If you don't like it hot (like I do), you may want to tone down the chili powder. :)

This chili was fabulous. It's a keeper for sure.

Breakfast this morning was pineapple Chobani, strawberries and a new granola: Strawberry Vanilla Almond Granola (recipe to come):

I went to the gym and ran a few errands. Lunch was a turkey sandwich, veggies and ranch dressing.
