Black Bean Chili

I've been really struggling with things to eat lately.  I'm bored with all of my normal meals, so I've been eating pretty bad lately.  So I went to some friends to ask for inspiration for something new.  Here is what I came up with...

Here's what you need:

1 small white onion, chopped
1T olive oil
1 can low sodium black beans
1 small can diced green chilis
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup grape tomatoes, quartered
Mexican cheese, optional

Here's what you do:

Heat oil in medium saucepan.  Add onions and sautee until soft

Add in black beans, green chili, corn, and tomatoes.  You can also add in some salt and pepper to taste.  Lower heat to medium and simmer 20 minutes.

Serve over brown rice and top with Mexican blend cheese if desired.

Onion Sherry Pork Chops

So I haven't been feeling very creative as of late, hence the lack of posts.  I've pretty much been sticking with all of my old "go-to's" and not trying new things.  Also, things have been pretty hectic around here, so I haven't had much time to do anything but deal with real life things.  On the plus side, I finished the PINK Method!  I ended up with 30 pounds lost.  I still have 9 more to go, so I restarted the program.  Hoping it will only take me till the end of the 1st phase or shortly into Phase 2.  Anyway, on to today's meal...

Here's What You Need

2 Pork Chops (or as many as you need really, I had 2 and one was HUGE so it was enough)
3T Cooking Sherry
A few shakes of Chopped Onion (the dry kind)
Dash of black pepper

Place Pork Chops into a baking dish and sprinkle both sides with the onion and pepper.  Add Sherry to the bottom of the dish.

Bake at 350* for 30 - 40 minutes turning once about halfway through cooking.

I served it with brown rice and green beans.
