Ingredients

  • 1 15oz can of black beans-they dont have to be organic
  • 1 15oz can of petite diced tomatoes
  • 1 package Light Life Smart Ground
  • 1-2 cans of water-depends on how thick you like your chili
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion-I put mine in the freezer for about 20 minutes so I dont bawl my eyes out while cutting them
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • Your choice of chili seasoning

Instructions

Start out by dicing the onion and mincing the garlic. Add the oil to a medium pan. Add the garlic, onion, chili seasoning and Smart Ground. Cook on medium to high heat until the onions are translucent and the Smart Ground is a little brown. About 10 minutes.

Throw everything in a slow cooker on low for about 4 hours.

Serve hot with rice or cornbread. Enjoy!

Cosmetic Database

Posted on by

Blake and I attended a newborn care class yesterday and the instructor mentioned a website where you can look up the toxicity of the products you use. www.cosmeticsdatabase.org She said a rating of 1-3 is great, but anything from 4 up, she would not use on her baby or herself. I looked up a few of the bath products we got at our baby shower. Johnson and Johnson products are actually rated pretty high. Another product we got was Mustela, they are rated from 4 up. I think we will be taking those back. (Sorry Danielle!) We want to go organic, but finding the right brand at a relatively inexpensive price is hard. I have heard great things about California Baby and they are rated very low, nothing above a 2.
