Breast Self-Exam: How To

Breast self-exam is done once a month so that you become familiar with the usual appearance and feel of your own breasts. The best time to do a breast self-exam is two to three days after the end of your period, when your breasts are less likely to be tender or swollen.

If you discover anything unusual, such as lumps, discharge from the nipple or dimpling or puckering of the skin, you should see your doctor at once. Remember, eight out of 10 biopsied breast lumps are not cancer.

Cuban Black Bean Chili

Try this delicious plant-based version of a familiar favorite. Like most chilis it tastes better the second or third day after the flavors have had a chance to blend. 

INGREDIENTS

2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 sweet potato, peeled and cubed
1 cup chopped onion
½ cup chopped green bell pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 15 oz. cans reduced sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
1 10 oz. can diced tomatoes and green chilis
14 oz reduced sodium vegetable broth

OPTIONAL ADD ONS Top with a wedge of lime or some fat-free plain greek yogurt for next level flavor!

DIRECTIONS

In large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sweet potato and cook, stirring occasionally until lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.

Add onion, bell pepper, garlic, cumin, chili powder, and oregano. Cook stirring frequently for 5 minutes.

Set 1 cup of the black beans aside. Add remaining beans, tomatoes, and broth to Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer stirring occasionally for 20 minutes. In a small bowl, mash reserved beans. Stir into chili; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Ladle into serving bowls.

Chef Tips: Mashing the beans is a way to thicken the soup without adding any extra ingredients. Greek yogurt makes an excellent substitute for sour cream, adding some extra protein and fewer calories to a popular garnish.
