Southwestern Style Pinto Beans
2 lb Dry Pinto Beans, soaked
Overnight
1 large Ham Hocks
3 Jalepeno Peppers, to
Taste
1 qt Tomatoes, Canned
5 Garlic Cloves, to taste
2 medium Onions, finely chopped
1 tbsp Salt, to taste
2 tbsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Summer Savory
2 tbsp Sugar
1 Stalk Celery


Soak the pinto beans in water overnight, or about 6-8 hours. Drain the
water and rinse the beans well.

Simmer the ham hock for about 2 hours in enough water to cover; about
2 quarts. (You could also use a pound of side pork or slab bacon cut
into 1 inch chunks.) Remove the meat from the hock and return it to
the cooking pot. Add the pre-soaked and rinsed beans to the pot,
along with the rest of the ingredients. Add enough water or tomato
juice to bring the level to about 4 1/2 quarts total volume. Cover
and simmer for about 4 hours, or longer if you have a slow cooker.
Watch the liquid level while cooking so the beans don't get too dry.

Adjust the hot peppers to suit your taste.

A few tips on healthy eating

If you enjoy eating, but want to become thin and boost your general condition, among other things you really should commence a carefully designed healthy-minded diet. Ideally, this should involve five portions of grains, cereals and vegetables on a daily basis and include the optimum fusion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.

In planning a daily routine, the important thing is to also make efforts to lower your ingestion of fats, refined carbohydrate and salt.

When selecting food, dieters far too often direct your attention to department store and big brand foods labelled 'low fat'. This is most certainly wrong, insofar as a food item might be moderate in fat content, but whilst still being far too high in carbs & calories.

Drink plenty of water. Every now and then during a hectic morning, you think that you are hungry but in fact you might simply want a pure tumbler of water or fruit juice. The feelings of hunger and needing a drink are quite alike, but one of the two ends in a broken diet and the other is healthy.

Instead of focusing on the many junk foods that you should leave out of your daily routine, look at the sensible foods that you can add to your weight loss program. If one can manage to bring in some nourishing grains, cereals and vegetables into your meal plan, you will find that you feel full and have a much decreased chance of being tempted by those unhealthy mid-afternoon nibbles.
