Down To The Numbers: Statistics About Food

Many people won’t be aware of this statement, but February 3rd is probably going to be the unhealthiest day of the year. The reason for this is because Super Bowl XLII is being held at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona....

Black Bean Chili

With a few changes this was awesome. I cut the recipe in half and substituted half sweet Hungarian paprika and half mild chili powder for the paprika. In addition to the cumin seed I added a teaspoon of ground cumin. I used a 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes along with 1/4 cup tomato paste. Two minced canned chipotle chilis in adobo sauce were used in place of the jalapenos. I also added an 11 oz. can drained corn. I then gently simmered the chili for almost two hours, adding additional cooking liquid from the beans when necessary. This really allows the flavors to meld. This can also be accomplished in a slow cooker. I didn't bother with the red bell pepper, cheese, and sour cream, although it would be delicious.
