Now that autumn is in full swing, it’s time for a big bowl of chili. Today’s recipe is from Feds Get Fit, a fun way for federal employees to participate in activities that will promote a healthy lifestyle. Feds Get Fit had a Recipe Challenge where federal employees submitted an original healthy recipe that is both nutritious and delicious. The result is the Virtual Cookbook and fellow GSA Employee, Jennifer, created this recipe.

Regardless of the situations we find ourselves in, we must find appropriate ways to talk to our children and teens. Talk to them honestly about cancer in the family. Obviously, what is appropriate for a five-year-old to hear and understand is different than what a nine-year-old or a 12-year-old can process. They many not be mature enough to know how to put things in their proper perspective and need our help understanding what cancer can mean to the family.
