When I was prepping for my plastic surgery, I knew that it would be a long recovery, and that I wouldnt be able to do things like cooking and cleaning for a while. This was a nice prospect, I must admit, but the thought of having to rely on my husband to do the cooking was not a pleasant one. I set about the daunting task of cooking tons of food and freezing it, so that way all my husband would have to do, would be defrost it, and heat it up!
One of the recipes that I stumbled upon happened to be for a Chili, claiming to be the best that I would ever taste. As we gastric bypassers know, Chili is an amazing source of protein, and probably one of the best foods that we can eat. I decided that I had to give the recipe a try, and much to my surprise it WAS the best Chili I'd ever tasted!!
