Healthy Homemade Chocolate 

Salvation for the going off sugar attempt-er

A good sized scoop of Coconut Oil

sprinkle special dark Cocoa (enough to make it dark and muddy when you squish it together)

a little honey

add a few almonds if you like 

OOoo oooo yum! 

Remember Coconut oil is super duper healthy for you.  Increases metabolism, helps with brain function, is anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, etc etc etc.  Look it up, the list of benefits is two pages long. Two tablespoons a day is suppose to change your life. 

Dark Cocoa powder is as well- healthy! The only thing that makes it UNhealthy is the adding of men altered processed sugar etc etc. Cocoa has all sorts of wonderful antioxidants, and of course we all know antioxidants are a wonderful wonderful thing!

Honey-. . . I was ignorant to this wonderful little jewel, a miracle all wrapped up in one little drop. Did you know that that honey contains ALL needed elements to support life.  You could live off of honey alone, not even water is needed.  On top of the fantastic energy, it strengthens our immune system and builds our resistance to allergies etc, and the greatest of all it tickles those wonderful pleasure receptors and brings us joy. 

White Chicken Chili 

(Everybody asks for this one) and it did win 2nd place at the Ward Chili cook off.

Bottle of Shredded Chicken Breasts (I bottle chicken when it is on sale, so it makes this SOOoo easy!)
or two can's shredded chicken, or about 5 chicken breasts cooked and shredded or. . .  Just kidding

3 Cans white Northern Beans
2 Cans Diced Green Chilies
2 Cans chicken broth (or water with bullion) watch out for MSG though.
1 1/2 t. ground Cumin
1 t Oregano
1/2 t salt
2 cloves garlic, or a squirt, or a scoop (which ever method you use)
2 T lime juice
2 squirts Cock sauce . . . . LOL sorry, I really don't know what it is called.  It's that red chili sauce you find
                                        at Chinese restaurants with a rooster on it?  It makes it perfect because you can .                                         still taste all the flavors and yet have that little bit of a burn at the back of your throat .                                  .   oh so good!

After heated through

a bunch of Cilantro (did you know this works like a Bean-o?  Who knew?)
Sour Cream
Shredded Cheese


Honest if you have chicken bottled this takes about 5 minutes to throw it all in the pot and walk away, by the time you come back it's ready to eat.  Love it!
