Delicious Black Bean Chili

I wanted to start posting some of my favorite recipes that I cook for me and my family. Many of them, my kids even LOVE! I thought I'd share my favorites with you to help you in your journey of transitioning to a healthier family lifestyle.

This recipe has been a new favorite, and a regular meal at our house. My almost 5-year old son gulps it up every time! And I love to cook it for dinner and then eat the leftovers for lunches.
