Mom gave me a hunk of pork the other night from her freezer, I would normally make slow cooker pulled pork, but I am trying to a good eater so went to my weight watchers cook book to look for something inspiring. Chris and I both love Chili and there was a pork and black bean chili recipe. It is amazing and per 1 cup of chili, with 1 tbsp of cheddar and 1tbsp of sour cream it was only 6 points plus! It was also SUPER filling, even if you aren't a weight watcher, this is way to enjoy a high fiber, veggie filled, dinner/lunch. If you are looking for a good way to buy the pork, Costco sells it in a rather large log, and you can usually get 3-4 meals out of it, and the best part, it's only about $20. Also while you're at Costco grab your cheese, it's the best deal around.

If you have a man like mine, he may also like some Frito chips served on top for an added crunch.
