Eggplant and Beef Chili

Eggplant and Beef Chili

 

 

 

1 pound of ground beef

1 small yellow onion, peeled and chopped

1 eggplant, peeled and chopped

1 tablespoon of coconut oil

3 cans diced tomatoes

1 cup water

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

1/2 yellow bell pepper

package of chili seasoning

1-2 tablespoons garlic

salt and pepper to taste

 

Brown your beef with coconut oil and the chopped onions. Once meat is cooked, add in eggplant, tomatoes, water, cilantro, bell pepper, and seasoning. Bring to a boil. Let boil for a few minutes then turn down heat to simmer and cover with a lid. Cook until eggplant is tender. Taste and add more seasoning. We can't do beans and they are hard to digest so the eggplant really gives another texture in there. It is sooo good. Garnish with cilantro and even avocado if you like. You could also add a jalapeno in there to kick up the spice.

 

Enjoy!!

 

 

Last Few Days...

So I am like 5 days behind on getting these pictures up. I have been like a mad scientist in the kitchen trying to make stuff that tastes like stuff we used to eat. Crackers for Superbowl- FAIL....Macaroons without sugar-FAIL. So yesterday I had this thought. We have been eating some amazing meals and having fun with a lot of different vegetables. I think we are going to relax into this for the last few weeks and enjoy it. I am feeling so much better - energy, digestion, and sleep that I am really considering maintaining this. Well...wine is coming back but I don't know that I will do breads again. What is great about taking all of these things out of your diet for 30 days, you really have the opportunity to recognize your symptoms once you add them back in.
