It’s National Chili Day!
Did you know the first recipe for chili (spicy meat and beans) goes all the way back to 1512? Â But some folks believe it was created in San Antonio, Texas in 1828. Whenever it was created, I’m sure glad it was!
And chilies are good for you! Â Hot chilies burn those calories by triggering the body’s thermodynamic burn – and one chili pod has more vitamin C than SEVENÂ oranges! Â It is full of vitamins A & E, as well as folic acid and potassium. Â It can relieve sinus congestion, give aid to digestion and helps with migraines and muscle and joint pain. Â And it gets the blood flowing!
So now that you know how great it is, here are a few recipes to try. Â And I invite you to share your own at the bottom of this post!
Do you have a great chili recipe? Â Please share it here!!
I love chili and curry. It is good to know all the good things you mention about chili.
