Lets eat!!!

So, for the last couple years I have been really having this craving to eat healthier but have stuck to my cheap and fatty ways and have supported our wonderful fastfood chains.

As health and risk taking in that area will have it, I have some pretty good pading around my body (BIG OL' FAT CELLS) and kinda high triglicerides ( 1500, my blood is syrup).

So I am working on finding and making good tasteing food that is healthier and taste good, cause we all know that there has been so many recipes for healthy cooking that taste like crap! No fat, no carbs, not alcohol, NO LIFE!!!

Well, toss all of your thoughts toward those type of suggestions and try some of my recipes that stay within my opinion of eating hella good food without there being a "Mac" or "Happy" in the title of your meal.

These recipes are way easy and the information is like "Duh!"

It has been fun for me to come up with new recipes and you can manipulate these favorites to your taste.


Have fun and "Dish It Up!"

Black Bean Soup

2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 cans black beans, drained/rinsed
3 roma tomatoes
1 large onion, diced
2 Tablespoons minced garlic
1 Tablespoon chili powder
1 cup chicken broth/ or 2 teaspoons chicken broth powder
1 teaspoon powder ginger
2 teaspoons worschestire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 cups water
1 yellow squash chopped
3 oz can tomato sauce
1 bay leaf
2 Tablespoons Liquid Amino Acids
Lime juice, to taste
Kosher Salt and Pepper to taste

Optional: 1 Tablespoon Golden Milled Flax Seed


In a pot or pan is where you start this amazing soup. Sautee (on medium high heat) onion and chili powder in your olive oil first. When your onion starts to soften add garlic, worschestire sauce, ginger, soy sauce, tomatoes and squash. Stir until the squash is soften but not mushy. Then add everything but the salt and pepper. Turn your soup to simmer. After about ten minutes start adding salt and pepper to get a good flavor. Simmer another 20 minutes then turn soup to a medium low heat.


All in all it takes with prep time about an hour to make. I made this for just me and my wife and we ate it for dinner, the next morning in an omlete and for lunch the next day.


You don’t have to use everything that I listed for ingredients to still get a killer soup.
