Motivation

"The more I run, the more I want to run, and the more I live a life conditioned and influenced and fashioned by my running. And the more I run, the more certain I am that I am heading for my real goal: to become the person I am." --George Sheehan, M.D., beloved former RW columnist

~1pt Chili~
10 oz. extra lean ground turkey
1 medium onion diced
2 28 oz cans diced tomatoes w/ peppers
2 medium zucchini diced
2 medium yellow squash diced 1 Red pepper Jalapenos about 2 spoonfuls
15 oz. can of black beans-rinsed and drained (any bean is good)
2 cans fat free beef broth(Instead of broth I use a small can of spicy V8)
4 celery stalks diced 1 can of corn with red and green peppers
1 or 2 pkgs dry chili seasoning (Or you can use chili powder) Garlic powder or a clove Sauté turkey and onion till brown. Transfer to a large soup pot and add remaining ingredients. Simmer over medium heat until veggies are tender. About 30 minutes

( I love this recipe: I make whole wheat noodles and top with chili, or I put ff sour cream on top with ff cheese and eat with scoop tortilla chips, or I put in to a flat out wrap with cheese, lettuce, and veggies and make a burrito)
