Chili beans and rice was both filling and tasty. Although the potatoes topped with chili sounds great my mind and my taste buds bring me back to a big bowl of chili and rice for comfort food, especially in the winter.

No harm, no foul! But now I feel like making it from scratch. Sometimes you just want that orange stuff in the box. No harm, no foul! But now I feel like making it from scratch.

And I know exactly what you mean- much as I try to eat fresh, healthy food as much as I can, sometimes all I have energy for is to cook instant noodles or just have ice cream for dinner :lol: This sounds so good!

I add a dash of mustard powder or some of the cheese sprinkles you can get from Penzy's or other spice sellers. Mmmmmm, cheese sprinkles make almost everything savory better...... the box kind is ok when doctored up. add 2 Tbs yogurt or sour cream to replace as much milk (just plorp it in the measuring cup before you pour in the milk).

I can't guarantee it will be low calorie, but it will taste a lot better than any boxed kind. I've found the best way to cut down on the calorie intake is to cut down on the size of the portion. Hey did I ever send you the recipe for the turkey chili? How about the vegetarian chili? Email me at judithcruzan@yahoo.com and I'll send it to you. I can give you a recipe for mac and cheese.

Doh! I have a box of the bunny pasta in my cabinet. A friend's sister bought it for me because she saw it and it reminded her of me (bunnies, pink, mac & cheese... food...)... I just never got around to making it. Now I'm kind of like, oh... well... hahaha Ooh, Liz, on a potato… with sour cream… and cheese… wait, cutting calories? Doh!

That was a standard Saturday afternoon lunch for us when we were trying to cut calories, but not nutrition. Maybe the chili just needed a spoonful of fresh salsa to liven it?!
