Yet another healthy recipe that receives rave reviews! I'm not much of a ground beef fan, but I've been on a mission lately to eat healthier while watching my grocery budget at the same time. We're moving back to the States in a couple of weeks (to Boston! hurray!!!) so I really won't have much of a chance to cook during April and May, since all of our household goods will be packed up and on a ship across the Atlantic. But I'm getting ahead of myself. I found this recipe on www.eatingwell.com, and I knew immediately it would be something that both Will and I would enjoy. To start with, the spiciness. I can't stand bland food (and no offense to my German readers, but I've experienced WAY too much of that during my five years living in your country). I felt satisfied after one serving, but Will went back for two more, and happily ate it for lunch today. I will definitely be making this one in the future!
