As the nights start to get a bit of a chill and the leaves get ready to change we deiced to post a quick, hearty, healthy and tasty chili recipe. Our OFL class in Durham tried out this recipe in class last week and enjoyed it. Chili is a great meal and good by itself, on a salad, in a burrito or with some corn chips to make nachos. Try out this recipe below and let us know what you think. We would also love to hear what suggestions and variations you may have.
