**FOR those with SOY ALLERGENS: Remember to check all labels, even if you think the item would not logically have it added. Soy as an additive has somehow made it's way into virtually everything. When one ingredient starts popping up into everything, that is worrisome. It is not needed but companies have found it is a cheap filler so they can sell product at a lower cost. If it says backed in water with Soy or Vegetable broth then it has Soy. The oil packed cans use Soybean/Vegetable oil. Wild Planet, Crown Prince, Kirkland, Bumblebee Prime Filet (Gold Label)

**Mercury Concerns: The smaller the Tuna species, the lower the mercury level. Albacore tuna (labeled “solid white” ), is the biggest of the tuna family so it has higher levels of mercury.  Skipjack and Tongol (labeled “chunk light”) are the smallest.  This smaller size makes such a difference in mercury levels which is why they recommend we choose to eat these tuna 3x as frequently as white Albacore. For example, an average sized adult is advised to eat the higher leveled one only once every 9-10 days but the light tuna can safely be eaten every 3-4 days!

Chili Cook-off!

Traditional Red Chili, is defined by the International Chili Society as any kind of meat or combination of meats, cooked with red chili peppers, various spices and other ingredients, with the exception of BEANS and PASTA which are strictly forbidden. I, of course, am allergic to beans (Legumes) so I never cook chili for myself containing beans. When I make Chili for the whole family I make the no-bean chili then remove what I want, add prepped beans to the crockpot and let it stew. Making an on plan version was simple enough to tweak my traditional recipes. I hope you enjoy!!
