I am finishing up my second round of Whole30 and I am feeling great! Last week I felt like I was so over meat but I pushed through the cleanse remembering that is how I always feel before feeling great. Sure enough, these last few days, I have felt an inner well being that I have not felt since I did the Body Ecology Diet for 3 months. Right now, at this moment, I am feeling happy, actually, euphoric! It is my gut healing, the inflammation going down, my brain getting more nutrients and B-Vitamins. Oh, the rewards of eating nourishing foods. Change the food you put on your plate and you will change the way you feel. Yes, the rewards are worth it! Now on to this delicious Paleo Friendly Chocolate Chili!
Chili is something that my family loves! I make it every week. My kids love chili and this time, I got inspired by Melissa’s Paleo Cincinnati Chili over at The Clothes Make The Girl and made my own version. I can never follow a recipe, I always end up changing this or that to suit my palate. I made this several times until I decided upon this recipe here. It has just the right amount of chocolate, uses homemade chicken stock and tastes amazing! I make this kid friendly because my kids can’t handle the heat yet, so feel free to add some cayenne pepper to spice things up. I add capsicum to my bowl. I love spicy chili!
I like to serve this Paleo Friendly Chocolate Chili on fresh spinach leaves and top with cubes of avocado. It is a hearty meal and can be served any time of day!
