Vegan Recipe - Quick, Simple, Tasty: One Pan Chilli Beans with Corn. Heart Healthy, Low fat, Dieabetic Friendly

One Pan Chili Beans.  I just love them. Who knew? I didn't until recently. Now they are a staple part of my eating program. Thanks to my Nutritionist Kathy Ashton who has taught me how to eat as much as I want and be healthy. Wish I had know this years ago, but guess I wasn't open to looking then. Now I like learning about how to use food as my medicine instead of relying on medications from the doctor.

Mind you, I go to him for check ups and he is encouraging me to continue with my learning as the results are in the blood tests! No longer do I have any problems with Type 2 Diabetes,  my blood pressure is coming down (may be able to come off my current medication down the track). My cholesterol is good, it was heading the wrong way, and my liver is happy again. I've lost 12 Kilos in 12 months.  I haven't been focused on my weight, just what I put in my mouth. I like that I don't have to eat tiny little meals, I really like food, so a big bowl of chili, guilt free, suits me!

Anyway enough rambling, here is my current creation. Great for when you are hungry and want something filling, tasty and quick.   Enjoy! I love this recipe.

Great Places To Visit: Tocumwal NSW on the Murray River.

 Perhaps I'm a little prejudiced, as Tocumwal is my home town, but I've always loved the Murray River Red Gums and watching the river & the bird, animal life here. All year around it delights me. Even the noisy Corella's can't put me off, I love living here. So why would a visitor want to spend time in Toc? Let me list just a small few off its attractions for you: Water sports: Fishing, skiing, swimming, canoeing, and any other water play you might like. Food: We have a number of Pubs, Clubs, Restaurants & Cafes if not in town then in easy driving distant. BIG variety for good old schnitzels, salads & chips to take-a-way favorites, great Coffee & Cakes and Bakery delights to tempt the taste buds!!  If you're an Artist or Photographer then Toc is a plethora of diverse landscapes to draw (pun intended) your attention. I for one have never tired of its beauty.  For the traveler's in their campers or caravans Toc has a selection of options for you to

Great Places To Visit To Eat in Melbourne. - Jahdomes - Mill Park

There's a lovely little French Cafe called Jahdomes off Childs Rd, Mill Park ( I think the shopping centre is called "The Stables"). if you happen to live within visiting range. Have eaten there a couple of times now with friends and found the food very good. They have a good range of breakfasts, lunches, tapas and desserts.  Good coffee to. They are closed on Tuesdays, but open otherwise as far as I know. I enjoyed the Mediterranean Scrambled Egg with Turkish Bread (feta, chorizo, tomato ) and coffee for lunch today. Very good. My friend had a scrambled egg with smoked salmon and a side salad instead of Turkish Bread, which they were happy to do, and she enjoyed that as well, and washed it down with a Chi Latte with spice. Breakfasts can be ordered up to 3.00pm so if your like us and like your eggs, you can have them for lunch!

Machine Quilting for Beginners

Aside from gardening, another hobby of mine is quilting. I don't like things going too slowly, so machine quilting it is. I don't have enough patience for hand sewing. First: I joined a quilting class. Second: I purchased my first sewing machine with hints and tips from my quilting teacher. Third: Didn't know how to sew, so quilting class number one, was also sewing lesson number one! Don't get all agasp and think wow I couldn't do that! Yes you could, cause I did! As my quilting teacher pointed out...."it's just straight lines, or crooked lines", "anyone can do that", and fortunately she was right! Anyone did....me. Since then, the bug has well and truly bitten. I enjoy all types of quilting from applique, to patches, to well....anything that I fancy. I like to make quilts that you can toss in the washing machine, hang on the cloths line, and then use. I'm not into show quilts. If you can't use it, I have no interest in making
