Steps to make 3 Bean Taco Chili:
- once you've measured out all the beans make aure to go through them removing any small stones or debris. put dried beans in a large bowl and fill with enough water to come about 2" above the beans. soak for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- brown ground turkey and drain. drain beans. in a crockpot, fill with 4 cups fresh water, add all the dried seasonings and stir until desolved. add browned turkey, canned tomatoes (with juice) and sauce, diced onion and soaked beans. stir to combine. cook on high 8 hours.

Foods That Can Make You Happy
Most of us believe that comfort foods are not good for us and that we should avoid them. At times, if your comfort food is basically candy or other junk foods, this is true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be totally healthy and it’s good for you to eat them. There are a number of foods that basically can raise your moods when you eat them. If you seem to be a little bit down and you need an emotional pick me up, try some of these.
Eggs, you may be amazed to learn, are terrific at combating depression. You should be sure, though, that what you make includes the yolk. Every time you want to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most crucial part of the egg. Eggs, the egg yolks in particular, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can be great for elevating your mood. This is because the B vitamins increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that dictate how you feel). Eat an egg and feel a lot happier!
Put together a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etcetera are all helpful for improving your mood. This is possible as these foods are high in magnesium which raises your production of serotonin. Serotonin is called the “feel good” substance that our body produces and it tells your brain how you should be feeling day in and day out. The more serotonin in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Not only that, nuts, in particular, are a great protein source.
Cold water fish are great for eating if you wish to combat depression. Herring, trout, tuna, wild salmon, and mackerel are all full of omega-3 fats and DHA. DHA and omega-3s are two things that really help the grey matter in your brain run a lot better. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can truly help you fight your depression.
It’s not difficult to fight your bad mood when you are eating grains. Quinoa, barley, teff, millet, etc are all wonderful for helping you feel happier. They fill you up better and that can help you with your moods also. Feeling famished can truly make you feel terrible! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are not hard for your stomach to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps jumpstart a rise in your blood sugar which in turn brings up your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is truly good for your mood. You were sure green tea had to be in this article somewhere, right? Green tea is rich in a particular amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies prove that this specific amino acid can essentially induce brain waves. This will improve your brain’s concentration while at the same loosening up the rest of your body. You likely already knew it is not hard to be healthy when you drink green tea. Now you are aware that it helps you to raise your moods as well!
You can see, you don’t need to eat junk food or foods that are terrible for you to feel better! Go with these suggestions instead!
