In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a hearty and healthy Mexican-Style Black Bean Soup. It is made in a slow cooker from canned goods, along with a few herbs and spices. It is super easy, and makes a large amount for your family or for college students who are looking for a great meal that is easy on the budget. Ingredients: (2) 15-oz. cans black beans, rinsed and drained 7 oz. can chopped green chiles (You may use [2] 4.5-oz. cans instead.) 14 ½ -oz. can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes, chopped, but undrained 14 ½-oz. can stewed tomatoes, chopped, but undrained 11-oz. can sweet whole kernel corn with green and red peppers, drained. (You may use regular whole kernel corn.) 4 green onions, sliced 2 to 3 tablespoons chili powder (Start with 2 tablespoons, and increase as desired.) 1 teaspoon ground cumin ½ teaspoon garlic powder Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH for 5 to 6 hours. Taste for flavorings during the last hour of cooking, and adjust to your taste, if desired. You may serve this with tortilla chips, crackers, or cornbread. I served mine with Onion-Cheddar Cheese Cornbread Sticks—delicious!!! I think you will really like this warming soup during the cold days of winter! Enjoy!!! –Betty ?

So I have decided not to do weight watchers anymore. I did lose weight while doing it but I didn’t feel good. I also didn’t feel like I was losing weight. My stomach felt bloated and my pants felt tight. After talking to my husband about what I should do he said “There is only one way I have ever seen you lose weight and be successful at doing it! The South Beach Diet!” I was like “You are sooo right!” Things I forgot to mention in the video… I went from 225.4lbs to 220.8lbs while on ww June 17th – June 29th The night of the 29th I decided It wasn’t the right plan for me so I was like “Oh! Diet starts TOMORROW!” I had a Mtn Dew and some smores that’s why I gained and went up to 222.2lbs the next day. I think everyone does that….”Diet starts Monday!” haha! Alright so I will be seeing you guys everyday for the next 5 days! I am also going to my last 2 weight watchers meetings. I paid .95 for a monthly pass and I might as well go if I’m paying for it!
