Cooking with Intention
The first recipe for Cooking with Intention is Dragonfly Chili. I have been making chili for years and have been modifying it to offer the most beneficial nutrients. It's starting to get chilly here, and it seems everyone is getting sick. I love a good chicken noodle soup, but I feel chili is a bit heartier.
