Hearty, hearty, hearty!

If you have ever completely cut grains from your diet, you’ll know that just this bowl will fill you right up. It’s backwards and doesn’t make sense, but omitting grains makes you feel fuller, faster.

(I didn’t believe it when I read about that, until I did an ‘all-in Whole 30’ challenge back in December.)

This chili is so refreshing and somehow manages to achieve a ‘light, but hearty’ feeling after polishing off a bowl. We can thank the veggies for that.

I adore beans in chili and the zukes and carrots were a nice alternative to the beans I usually drop in!

Hope you enjoy this budget-friendly Paleo chili!
