This lovely recipe was brought to you by a lovely colleague of mine who specialises in Nutrition for pregnancy and post natal recovery. She has shared with me a few recipes. Try and plan your week of food so you avoid the sugar highs and lows, starting with a breakfast of soaked oats overnight is a great way to start the day and beat the tiredness of feeding and being up through the night! Get organised and put these onto your next shopping list.
Chili-con-carne
Simply add the following ingredients to your slow cooker, stir, turn your slow cooker on to high and leave for 4-5 hours.
Ingredients
1 x packet of beef mince
2 x onions (chopped)
4 x cloves of garlic (minced)
2 x teaspoon ground cumin
2 x teaspoons all-spice
1 x teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 x teaspoon dried chili flakes (add more or less as needed to suit taste)
2 x 400g tins of chopped tomatoes
2 x tablespoons of tomato ketchup
3 x tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 x tablespoon sugar (any kind)
1 x 400g tin of red kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
1 x teaspoon of cocoa powder
Serve with rice, sour cream and grated cheese
It is also easy to make a vegetarian version of this chili by adding your choice of tinned beans in place of the mince.
