Healthy Chili: Butternut Squash Crockpot Chili

This healthy chili recipe is a Jersey Bites original. When I’m creating a recipe, rarely do I hit a home run the first time out, but this time, home run city. This recipe is hearty and delicious and very healthy. I was worried about the escarole but it turned out to be the perfect addition. We ate big steaming bowls of it around our fire pit last night with guests. Everyone loved it. There’s absolutely no need for any garnishes either. Browning the meat takes a little extra time, but I think its worth it. You could even do that the night before if you don’t have time in the morning. I hope you’ll try this recipe and come back to leave your comments. And, I have to give photo credits to my 8 year old. Crockpot dishes are not very photogenic. I think he did a great job.

Beet Recipes: Flank Steak with Horseradish Beets

roasted beets Oh what to do with all those ruby beauties being plucked from the earth right here in our own backyard. It wasn’t that long ago that I hated beets. I’m not sure when or how I crossed over to being a fan. Maybe it was the addicting Golden Beet salad with Goat Cheese served at the Shipwreck in Brielle (I guess I was the only one addicted to it because they took it off the menu and I will never forgive them.)

Chicken, Butternut Squash and Cabbage Soup

Here’s a great recipe for a chilly Hallow’s Eve. In my little town by the shore, we go all out on Halloween. There is one street in particular that looks like Mardi gras, sans the drunk naked people. (We save that for home.

The Monday Motivational

This is my first “Monday Motivational” post. For the next 23 days I am on a regimented eating and conditioning plan. I am hoping these weeks will instill in me a habit I can carry forward for life. I also hope to pass on some of the nutritional information I’m learning by way of healthy recipes and other tasty tips. Monday is a great day to atone for the sins of the weekend and start the week off on a healthy foot. If you didn’t do so great today, tomorrow is another day. How’s that for motivation? Sorry, I never made the cheerleading squad. That’s as good as it gets.
