Vege Chili Recipe
Recipe
Ingredients
2 medium sized onions, chopped 1 fresh garlic, chopped (you 1 decide how much) 2 1/2 tbsp chili powder 2 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp dried oregano leaves, 1 crushed 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper 2 cup vegetable stock (or 2 cans) 28 oz can of peeled tomatoes, 1 chopped, with juice 1 beer 1 tsp sugar 1 tsp salt 1 bay leaf 1 tbsp cornmeal 2 lb zucchini cut into 1 inch 1 pieces 2 can black beans, rinsed and 1 drained 1 can 11 oz. whole kernel corn, 1 drained 1 tvp (optional)
Recipe
Preparation
Cook onions over low heat until soft and translucent. Add garlic, chili power, cumin, oregano, and cayenne. Cook a few minutes while stirring constantly. Add vege broth. Add tomatoes and juice, beer, sugar, salt, and bay leaf.
Stop here and refrigerate up to two days if you are making this up ahead of time. When ready to finish, bring to gentle simmer and continue.
Sprinkle cornmeal over surface slowly while stirring to avoid lumps. (At this point, my SO got real excited and said, it's chili, look, it looks just like chili). Add zucchini and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. (Add TVP here if you are using it) Add black beans and corn, simmer 5-15 minutes.
I served over brown rice and provided bowls of hot sauce, FF sour cream, chopped jalapeno peppers, and chopped onions. I also had a loaf of wheat bread and several people ate their chili with that instead of the rice.
Yum yum. I would imagine it's good the next day, maybe next time I'll double the recipe so that there will be some left over.

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weight
Drink more water. At times during a hectic day, you guess you are peckish but in truth you might only want a restorative glass of water or cranberry juice. The sensations of needing food and needing a drink are close, but one can result in a fat tummy and the alternative is ok.
Some lower carbohydrate diet tips:
* Make low carbohydrate bread crumbs for breadcrumb coated foods.
Although you can sometimes buy reduced carbohydrate bread crumbs, you can make them at home by using reduced carb bread. All you have to do is toast the low carb bread in the oven on a cookie sheet. When it is well browned, whizz it in the food processor or blender. To store, keep in a tupperware container.
Lycopene foods
(includes melon, red peppers and tomato puree)
The chemical lypcopene is a natural coloring compound and one of the phytochemical group known as 'carotenids'. It is the agent responsible for the vivid red hue of a good number of fruits and vegetables.
Intrestingly, unlike many nutrients, lycopene not only survives being cooked, but is essentially strengthened by cooking.
.
Its most important benefit is that it works as an antioxidant and is believed to be of use in the fight to lower the risks of cancer.
This useful phytochemical is the most powerful fighter of singlet oxygen, which is associated with skin aging. It is also believed to prevent the progression of atherosclerosis.
