In the eye of this winter season, I’m always looking for something to go with my Snuggie and countless hours of Stats homework (and the occasional break for Teen Cribs re-runs).  It is not every day when you find a remedy that can cure the winter blues and come in warm, fulfilling, cheap, and easy form.

Lucky for us, this delicious chili provides all five elements of satisfaction in a low calorie, protein packed serving. It also tastes awesome and takes only 40-minutes to prepare enough for an entire week of blissful dining.

Get Started (What You Will Need):

1 can tomato juice

1 small onion diced
2 cans of diced tomatoes (or a big 15 oz can)
1 package of taco seasoning (I go with mild, but if you like your chili SPICY, you can buy whatever strikes your fancy.)
1 cup Boca Ground Crumbles (You can find this in the frozen foods section. It’s a low-calorie alternative to using real meat and is packed with soy and other healthy protein.) Read More »
