One of my all time favorite meals is chilli! I absolutely love the way my mom makes it – best part – it’s already healthy! Here’s the recipe to make a bomb chili to try tonight before you turn on Netflix.

WARNING I like mine hot, so modifiy to your desired spicyness – except the jalepeno, take the seeds out to decrease heat.

Ingredients

• 1 Pound ground turkey
• 1 20 oz can of tomato sauce
• 1 Red bell pepper
• 1 Green bell pepper
• 1 Jalepeno pepper
• 1 Tbsp Sirachi sauce
• 1 White onion
• 1 Can of red kidney beans
• 1 Tsp of chili garlic sauce

Here’s what to do with it all

Put olive oil in a pan and cook turkey meat until lightly brown on the outside. Take it out of the pan and place aside. Put olive oil in a pot and take chopped onion and cook till the onion is translucent. Then pour in the tomato sauce and add the beans and peppers. Add salt, pepper, chili garlic sauce, and siracha to your liking. Once that all comes to a boil then add turkey meat and reduce stove top to a simmer. Let sit for 45 minutes and then enjoy with your favorite toppings of cheese, sour cream, lettuce, bacon – whatever! Enjoy 🙂

You may not think vitamin D is an important supplement you should be getting daily, but after reading this blogpost I really hope you do! After doing some research for this post, I am forever devoted to vitamin D.Vitamin D is proven to reduce the risk of many disease and even lower your chance of getting breast cancer – if that’s not enough ladies then I don’t know what is.

 So what is vitamin D and what does it do? According to healthline.com, the most vital functions of this super vitamin are regulating the absorption of calcium and phosphorous, and facilitating normal immune system function. Getting the proper amount of vitamin D is important for normal growth and development of bones and teeth, as well as improved resistance against certain diseases.

You know that winter blues feeling we all get and complain about? Well apparently Vitamin D can help fight that as well! According to a 2010 study , people who showed deficiencies in vitamin were also dealing with depression and anxiety. After taking supplements and achieving a sufficient amount of vitamin D, their symptoms improved.

No wonder it’s called the sunshine vitamin. To learn more about vitamin D in relation to beast cancer click here.

Working out is a labor of love for me – labor is hard but I love the results!

It is so important to work, stretch, and push your body at least three times a week. It’s not only to keep you in shape, but it’s just good for your overall health. Here are some of the reasons you should get your body moving:

• More energy throughout your day (really? YES!)
• Can prevent diseases
• Helps you catch more zzz’s
• Makes your mood improve
• Increases brain function

It also is a great way to destress. There is no greater feeling to me then finishing a hard work out and knowing that I pushed myself to my max! Growing up I mostly did ballet and jazz, but when I went off to college I had to find a new way to work out.

My school has great classes and I love trying them out with my friends. Body Pump is a class that combines weights with cardio – aka not walking for three days. I also love going for runs around campus and doing yoga daily. I like to switch it up a couple times a week, that way I don’t get bored of my workout.
