Do you ever just crave something for weeks on end?! Well, I do all the time. It started almost a year ago, I began craving peanut butter pretty much every second of the day. Then my cravings went onto anything mango, especially dried mango from Trader Joes. And now as the seasons are changing and the temperatures are dropping, I’ve been craving chili!
And, I can’t be stopped. I’ve literally made this Healthy Spicy Texas Chili now once a week for the last 3 weeks. It’s the best the night of, for leftovers, and to make the most amazing chili potato nachos out of on game day! I don’t really watch the game, I’m just here for the nachos!
Share what you’ve been craving recently below, please tell me I’m not alone in this craziness! And nope, I’m not anywhere close to pregnant. Just a crazy single lady over here having cravings. Totally natural, am I right?
Oh, and did I mention there’s bacon in there! I swear it’s still a healthy recipe!
