Delicious Bison Chili

As we are quickly approaching the CHILLY months here in Kentucky, I just had to get in the kitchen yesterday and whip up some CHILI to warm our bones <3

I decided to switch things up and kind of throw things in as I went...I don't know why I don't trust myself more often!

Here are the ingredients you'll need:

- 1 green bell pepper chopped
- Half small onion chopped
- 1 can organic tomato sauce
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup rotel tomatoes with green chiles
- 1 pound ground Bison
- 2 can organic red kidney beans
- all purpose seasoning to taste
- pepper
- 1.5 teaspoons cumin
- dash of chili powder
- 1.5 teaspoons of minced garlic
- 1/2 avocado
- Fage 0% greek yogurt
- shredded cheese
- fresh cilantro

How to cook it up:

1. Heat oil in medium pot over medium heat. Stir in peppers, onions and garlic; cook until tender, 5-7 minutes. Add bison, cumin, chili powder to taste, and all purpose seasoning. Cook, breaking up bison with spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in beans, tomato sauce, 1 cup water; bring liquid to boil. Reduce heat. Simmer until chili thickens and flavors come together, about 10 minutes. Season with pepper and chili powder.
3. Divide chili among serving bowls. Top with cheese {if you prefer}, avocado and cilantro.

The Master's Hammer and Chisel INFOMERCIAL

"If it's both terrifying and amazing, then you should definitely pursue it."

If that's not my motto this week, not sure what is...

I have huge news to share and to even keep it a secret this long has been one of THE hardest things I've done! Let me share how this picture came about.

One week ago today, as I was arriving in San Diego for our annual Beachbody leadership retreat, we sat down to eat, and the phone rang. "Hi niki! We would love for you to extend your stay in California and head to LA on Saturday. You've been chosen to shoot the infomercial for The Masters Hammer and Chisel."

Just like that, opportunities opened up! Fear struck me right away.

But what about my baby?
What about my flight?
Am I worthy of this?

And just like that, excitement took over!

This is once in a lifetime.
This is going to be like nothing I've ever done.
I worked my butt off in that test group!

So on Sunday we headed to LA and began filming! Still shots the first day, video the second. It was insane!! I've met some of the most incredible people during this group and heading to LA with people who I had bonded with during this test group, was exciting! We got to know each other, experienced this together and I made life long friends. 💕 This company never ceases to amaze me! They treated us like queens and kings; amazing dinners, a hip hotel, hair and make up primping and my first LA trip, all inclusive!

So I hate that I couldn't share sooner, but the cat is out of the bag!! And all the transformations are amazing!! <3 Here is mine :)
