Mendy was kind enough to invite me over to her house for dinner on Wed night. Her family is just adorable and we had a lot of laughs as usual! Susan and Robin joined us and it was a mini-girl/family night!
I just got finished making cookies (not so healthy ones too) and portabello chili for our feast. Everyone will bring something, games will be played and fun and laughs will be had!
Portabello chili:
Marilu Henner
Serves 4
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 large cloves of garlic, minced
8 oz. portabella mushrooms, cleaned and coarsely chopped
2 Tbsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 (35 oz) can of tomatoes undrained and coarsely chopped
1 (15 oz) can of kidney beans, drained in a large saucepan
Heat oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until onions are translucent.
Add mushrooms and cook until soft.
Add the cumin, chili powder, tomatoes, beans and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and let simmer for 1 hour. Serve immediately.
This is just one of the many wonderful recipes you can get over at marilu.com. You should definitely check out the website if you are looking for a great place to hang out and learn how to be healthy and meet some of the most amazing people!

Marilu's book Total Health Makeover is what got me started on my health journey. I can never thank her enough!! Since then, I have read all of her books and own every single one. I refer to them often! Check them out at your local library or you can purchase them on amazon.com.
