1/2 cup diced green chili (2 chilies)

1/4 cup diced celery (1 stalk)

3 medium tomatoes, chopped

3 tablespoons chili powder

1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper

2 teaspoons salt

2 cups Water

1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat; drain off the

fat.

2. Using a fork, crumble the cooked beef into pea-size pieces.

3. In a large pot, combine the beef plus all the remaining ingredients,

and bring to a simmer over low heat. Cook, stirring every 15 minutes,

Leftovers can be frozen for several months

thanks so much i will make it soon..i am addicted to wendy's chili............:sad::thumbup:

:sad:

Someone on this site sent me the Wendys chili clone..I use ground turkey instead of beef and do not add the hot peppers

should I post it here or will email to whomever wants it

I also use salsa added to my chili sometimes

Bought some salsa at costco not the one that makes mango...one that was with the coupon ....ugh.. gave it away.. we use salsa in this home..but this brand was foul... gave it to mil...she eats anything

I would love the wendy clone recipe for the winter since i am so addicted to wendys chili...thanksso much

Ok, where can I find this recipe and I am going to go see if there is somewhere on here where there are other recipes too...

Thanks,

Amy

go to the forums and there is a liquid stage a mushy stage a Protein Shake different recipes........main area is called food and nutrition....good luck on your journey

Aren't they great! I tell you, I get some great ideas from KC, Luluc, and Diva. It amazes me the things that I have made that I would never have attempted because of them.

Diva-they made cioppino on Throw Down last night. I thought of you when I saw it. I just may try to make that sometime soon.

oops I forgot Diva your recipes are terrific as well ...sorry

i'm italian myself, if the bread is thin & toasted well - i'm ok w/it:)

white bean chicken chili is easy.

saute' small onion / 2 celery stalks / 2 garlic cloves w/a little butter & olive oil....get translucent.

add 8 cups of chicken stock - while simmering i will pull apart pcs of a rotissere chicken (you can cook one, but i like the ones i get a whole foods & it's easy), add a can of drained cannelli Beans & let it cook for about 30mins.

"sometimes" i'll throw a cup of elbow mac in or some brown rice - depends what i have on hand.

Fantastic recipe love the idea of the whole foods rotissere chicken. Don't you love whole foods!!!!! we finally got one in my town this summer it is terrific they carry Protein Powder premade shakes and I find the prices for these items much cheaper then Vitamin Shoppe even witn my discount card....Thanks so much LULUC!!!!!!!!:blushing:

how does ostrich Jerky compare to turkey or beef texture wise? is it less dry..some jerkies i find like chewing shoe leather thanks for the help

thanks so much for the muscle milk info.......i have a costco membership next time i am there or bgs or Vitamin store i will make them look on puter to see if c&c come in light pre made shakes vitamin store will know.

so sorry to hear you had trouble on vacation .my first vacation out of the country i was so worried ........becasue we use points to travel (hubby commutes to toronto every week from nyc area)......i asked e1 i knew and i was able to pack an entire suitcase with a small cooler.........going on vacation still scares me......

I wouldn't buy the manual. Here is the link from that page for the plan Surgical Weight Loss 5 Day Pouch Test. I just followed the plan listed without actually buying any book. It really does help when you aren't sure if you need a fill.

As far as the almonds, I have seen them at other grocery stores, so hopefully they won't be too hard to find.

Have a great day.:sad:

thanks again..........wow I do not know why I didn't find it with the first link.....sorry to be a pain. someone else mentioned sams club or walmart.........for the cocoa almonds:thumbup:

you have a wonderful day as well.
