The Ultimate Chili Recipe

I know that I say that all my recipes are the "Ultimate" but this one really is. At my house, this is the most requested recipe I have. My friends and family really love this chili. It is good! At one time, I actually ate it almost everyday.

The Ultimate Chili Recipe

The cheese is cheddar. It is raw Organic Valley cheddar,uncolored. It is great. I really like this chili with a dollop of plain yogurt. It gives it a nice tang.

Well, my little collecting tips idea for blog links was a little bit of a bust but, Crabby gave me an idea. She sent me a recipe I could use for, well you'll see. So, instead of a tip, you could post a simple healthy snack recipe. If I get 3 or 4 I think I can make them into an article and have some info about your blog and some linking. You would just have to promise to link back to the article when it posts. Does this sound doable? Dawn, I am looking forward to your recipe for cream filled apple donuts (healthyish I am sure). I hope its easy!

My first Meme

How exciting! Crabby McSlacker of Cranky Fitness tagged me, giving my first meme. I beleive she got her meme from the Diet Pulpit, another fine and informative site.
Now that she has blogged about how smart her readers are, I am a little concerned that I am going to do this wrong, and therefore proving Crabby wrong and I would hate to do that to her. She has been so good to me!
I decided I would choose the people who of course were not picked by her so you might be able to see who I have been visiting. So, I am sorry Leah, Dawn, and Katieo. I do love your blogs and have been checking them everyday!

Here are some others that I also enjoy-

Health hacker by Michael Byrd
This blog is very informative and has tons of great information on health related topics. Micheal seems a tad more serious than the rest of us, but I know we all can enjoy some straight forward info once in a while. (I am wondering a little about what he will do when I tag him, hee hee)

Katharine Osborne's personal blog
This is one of my best friends in the whole world. She is actually more like a sister than a friend actually, but that is besides the point. She has some real blogging cred since she has had this blog forever. She puts up allot of her artwork, pictures, writings and life endeavors. This is how I kind of keep up with while she lives far away from me. I am sure you will enjoy her projects and adventures.

Where's the revolution?
This vegan can cook. I am pretty sure she has been meme'ed before but, I know that if you see her food photography, you might be tempted to try some plant based fair. Scroll down to May 12th and see her story about the lemon she grew. Cute!

Glam Diet
Now Glam diet! I want to be on that. Glam has a pretty gutsy blog with body photos and all (she is looking pretty glamorous I must say). She mixes witty commentary with honest life experiences that we all can relate to.

Culiblog
To be honest, I am not really sure what the theme to this blog really is but, I like the look of it. I mean I know it is food but, I am not exactly sure what the angle is. The hog at the top is great and the photos are beautifully done. It looks like they are pretty adventurous and the blog posts I have read so far are interesting.

Ok, I hope I did that part right. If you are tagged by me and kind enough to visit my blog to see what to do, all you have to do is list five blogs that you really like, and then link back to me, and if you would be so kind as to link back to Crabby McSlacker at Cranky Fitness, that would be super nice of you, and I know she would appreciate it too.

Suite 101 Article: Fiber

Ok, the title for the article is boring but, fiber is truly exciting. Especially for weight loss. It is not absorbed by the body, but it makes you feel full. It is awesome for the digestive tract and prevents a myriad of diseases. I hope you are more excited about fiber now.
Katieo on Sister Skinny inspired this one. Thank you Katieo!! She mentioned an article idea for foods that make you feel full. Well, I thought, fiber! It is all the rage right now anyway.

Fiber: the broom for the digestive tract

Like I said before, if you have any ideas that you would like me to make an article on let me know. I will do my best.

Also, I was thinking- because there is such a great online community of Weight Watchers and health blogs I had an idea for two articles.

One would be healthy eating tips from bloggers. If you submit some tips for this, I will include them in my article, give you credit and link to your site.

Two would be healthy eating tips for Weight Watchers specifically. You can submit your best Weight Watchers tips. I would give you credit and link back to your site.

All I would ask is for a post after the article was posted. You could mention in the post that your tips were featured in my article. Win- win, right?

These tips would be featured in an article on the Suite 101 Nutrition site where I am the Nutrition Feature Writer.

Let me know what you think of this.
