So the last two days have been in the upper 90's, and we have even hit 100 here in Arizona. Welcome "Spring"! We've just turned our air conditioning on here, so I am writing this with a hoodie on, since my husband likes to duplicate the weather in Northern Alberta in February. Spring means its officially the start of grilling season in the East, and north - and anywhere where it dips below 50 at any time of the year. The recipe I am sharing with you today was originally titled "Spring Chicken" but I thought that was deceiving, since we make it throughout the year.

Recently, I was grocery shopping at a store I don't normally shop at, and I needed diced tomatoes for my vegetarian chili recipe. Often I will just buy fresh tomatoes, dice them myself, but that isn't always practical, so when that is the case, I like to buy the tomatoes in a box, not in a can. In fact, I try to avoid anything in a can.   If I can't buy it fresh, I'll resort to frozen, but only canned if I am seriously desperate. This is usually a great policy for most foods, except tomatoes.

I consider myself to be someone who is in pretty good health, above average even, as it relates to how healthy I am. I usually feel good, I am able to live a fairly active lifestyle, and I am able to do most of the things I want to do. Most of the time. Then one of my chronic conditions flare up: my allergies that lead to sinus infections, the ever continuing back saga, chronic migraines, IBS... and sometimes they all flare up at the same time and make me feel like I am not as healthy as I believe I am. If I am totally honest, they make me feel like I am the exact opposite of healthy; sickly, inferior, and weak.
