Winter weather, an ever-hungry boyfriend, and the Super Bowl: three reasons I felt the timing was just right for another chili recipe! This one is just as easy & just as Paleo as my good ol’ “All American Crockpot Chili”, but brings a little “I’m ready for summer time” flair with sweet pineapple cooked in to that savory base. In fact, this one is Whole30 compliant as written in the…
Some days I have a lot on my mind & an endless to-do list, and a “food is fuel” mentality. I prep breakfast & lunch, make a simple, nutritious dinner, and do minimal snacking.
