Chili Cravings

When I'm stressed, I tend to eat. I know, it's a bad habit--especially for someone trying to fit into high-school-sized jeans, but I just can't help myself. Usually I reach for dried fruit or sunflower seeds (they add for a nice mixture of chewy/sweet/crunchy/savory), but due to the intensely fragile nature of my sanity on this particular day, I was craving something incredibly more substantial.

Burgers, fries, and other grease-laden food floated across my mind as I tried to think of all the things I have to do before my heaven of a Spring Break (Lara and I are bringing some of our best friends to Florida; Harry Potter World, here we come!). What was I going to chew on that wouldn't tighten my clothes??

Those who know my eating habits know that, for whatever reason, I love crunchy things (I guess this makes me lucky because this also means I like my vegetables). Therefore, I decided to indulge my cravings while staying true to my passion for a good, healthy crunch.

Turkey Chili Crunch:
1 cup Turkey Chili 
Red Wine Vinegar
Chopped Celery
Mushrooms
Arugula
Spinach

1) Mix together ingredients
2) Drizzle Red Wine Vinegar on top 
Eclectic mixture, but delicious and satisfying!
