Wii Eat Heathy Lunch: Vegetarian Chili

With the snow piling up outside…school and activities being cancelled…I thought a hearty chili recipe would be just perfect!  I found this recipe years ago when I was exploring the South Beach Diet.  This is perfect for lunches… and it is a small recipe at just 2 servings…and doubles well if you need more.
