What's up, Pumps?! ... I thought I'd surprise y'all with a little Afternoon, Daily Dubie delight  Things are about to get SPICY HOT up in here

Are you ready for me to BRING ON THE HEAT?!?! Ready or not, I need to get right to it, because there is still mucho to do on the Laura Constantiner Tuesday to-do List! Now...

Let's talk CHILI!!!

So, last night I made a delicious Sweet Potato Vegetarian Chili I saw on RealSimple. I had this baby all kicked up on Cayenne, Chili, and Chipotle peppers - Tres spicy, hence the reference to things getting "spicy hot," up in here. I kid you not, I just had a bowl myself, and it left me with sweat beads on my temples, and flushed rosy cheeks. Because I don't have the highest of tolerances for heat (spicy food), I cut the spice with some crunch, i.e.: Crunched up tortilla chips. See below:

This crunch is the perfect way to balance out an ultra spicy meal, and also adds another layer of texture and flavor to the dish! I will even sometimes add apple slices, cucumber, celery, tortilla chips, potatoe chips, nuts, seeds etc., to salads, sandwiches, etc., to take things up a notch. Crunch Enhancement can do the body real good, Dolls! Just remember to choose-wisely, and consider what your dish already has in it (i.e. if your salad already has avocado, you might not need to add so many nuts - it's already packed with monounsaturated fats). It's all about balancing.

Well mis amiguitos, that is all I have for you at this moment in time...

Big Kisses to All...and to all a good night.
