What is Cincinnati chili?

@ dandelion: Cincy chili is chili on top of spaghetti noodles with cheese on top. very yummy, we make ours with ground turkey.

Day 5 was red because i nibbled on a few things before dinner and had a bit too much to drink. not terrible but could have been much better.

Breakfast: cereal and milk, coffee

Lunch: falafel

Dinner: bowl of veggie and rice soup.

snacks: 2 crab cakea, a couple bites of pieces with cheese. wine.

Even though it was an S day i was determined to make up for Friday. I'm going to consider today a green day.

Breakfast: bagel with cream cheese, oj, coffee.

Lunch (ken's bbq): Boca burger with salsa on baguette, green salad. 2 light beers.

Dinner: bowl of homemade granola with plain yogurt.

My husband and I were talking about Cincy Chili last night because they were showing people eating it during the game. My question to him was, do they put beans in the chile, or is it meat only?

the chili itself is meat only. The way you order it determines whether or not you get beans. "2-way" is spaghetti and chili, "3-way" is spaghetti, chili, cheese, "4-way" is all three plus chopped onions, and "5-way" has all four plus beans. 3-way is my favorite.

A pretty good S day, i had snacks sometimes.

Breakfast: coffee with milk, bagel and cream cheese

Lunch: arroz non pollo

snacks: triscuits and hummus. 2 chocolate covered apricots & one lindt chocolate ball

Dinner: 1/2 turkey and cheese sandwich, veggie and rice soup. 1 cocktail.

Day 8 on NoS, totally green!

It wasn't easy either because i was in meetings all day long and there were all kinds of tempting treats on the table. I didn't touch a thing, drank tea and waited for lunch.

Breakfast: coffee with milk, homemade granola and plain yogurt

Lunch: turkey sandwich and side salad with a teeny bit of dressing

Dinner: TJ's mac and cheese mixed with broccoli, morningstar chik nuggets w/ ranch

Dinner was a little bigger than it should have been but i'm still in that "overload your plate learning curve" stage. all in all, a good day.
