Ok, I'm not very worldly, but I know this much: Brits don't make tea in the microwave and Texans don't eat canned chili.
But I'm not a Brit or a Texan. So, with apologies to one of my closest friends (the Brit) and one of my clients (the Texan), let me say I do zap my tea and, a couple of weeks ago, I got a mutli-can pack of chili from Costco. I had forgotten about it until today when I returned from teaching my Pilates class (I rode my bike both ways, so I was ready for a meal when I got home). My seven year old son was hot to resume our project (building a cardboard boat for races at the local aquatic center tonight) so I had to whip up something quick and nutritious that I could make and eat w/out any hassle at all.

I started the chili in a small pan on the stove top and, as it was cooking, added some frozen chopped spinach and some frozen mixed veggies. So I guess it really ended up being more of a beef stew with chili seasonings. Anyway, by the time it was ready it was much more balanced, nutrient-dense (NU~DE) and there was plenty for both of us.
This chili has a whopping 20 grams of protein per serving and is darn tasty! And like typical guys, we ate it right out of the pan on the stove with the wooden spoon I used to scoop it out of the can and stir it. Rock on.
By the way - the boat came out great. Must have been the chili.
