DirectionsPlace the tomato sauce, tomatoes, jalapeños, chili powder, and cumin in a large pot. Stir over low heat. Once mixture is heated, stir in the garlic and continue to cook for about 5 minutes.
Add carrots and continue to cook over low heat. Meanwhile, over medium heat, cook onions, peppers, and mushrooms for 3 to 5 minutes in a large pan with just ½ cup of water (and some salt, if desired). The onions and peppers should still be a little crunchy. Using a slotted spoon to drain any excess water, add the veggies to the pot.
Add beans, corn, and Worcestershire sauce to the pot. Mix well. Everything should now be in the pot.
Cook over low heat for about 2 hours, stirring every 20 minutes or so. Chili is done when carrots have lost their crunch.

This is one of the very first guilt-free recipe swaps I ever created. And to this day, it's still one of my favorites. I've fooled close to two hundred people over the years with these twice-baked potatoes. They're as creamy and delicious as any stuffed potato out there!
Ingredients1 medium (8-ounce) baking potato
1 slice fat-free American cheese
1 ounce fat-free liquid non-dairy creamer
Salt, paprika, and parsley, to taste
DirectionsPreheat oven to 375 degrees.
Puncture potato in several places with a fork. Peel the skin off the top of the potato and then cook potato in the microwave for 6 to 8 minutes.
Once potato is cool enough to handle, scoop out the insides, leaving behind an empty potato shell. Set shell aside.
Place potato pulp in a small dish and then add cheese, creamer, and a little salt. Mash it all together until the cheese melts, leaving a creamy, cheesy mashed potato mixture.
Place potato mixture back into the potato shell and sprinkle with paprika and parsley.
Place potato in a baking dish sprayed lightly with nonstick spray and bake in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until top is nice and brown.
