This Seafood Chili is hearty & healthy with a kick of spice. The perfect comforting meal for a cold day that's easy to make & warms the soul! Gluten Free + Low Calorie + Paleo

Happy day after Christmas! Hope you a wonderful holiday weekend. Saturday morning I taught spin then attempted to drive to Tucson, but the weather was so bad it forced me to turn around and go home.

The wind and rain was so bad it made the visibility horrible. Oh well, sometimes I plan and God laughs at me.

On the upside, it gave me extra time at home to catch up on things and sleep. Something I obviously needed because I slept 12 hours both days.

Speaking of time, I was thinking about new year's goals and time management kept popping in my head. It led me to think about willpower and the Facebook live I did a few weeks ago on willpower.

How so many people say they're yo-yo dieters because they lack willpower, when in fact, willpower has nothing do with weight loss or any goal.

Take this Seafood Chili for instance. I'm sure you could come up with a million excuses as to why going through a drive thru is easier than making a 30-minute meal that's packed with protein and healthy ingredients your body craves.

To make that meal happen, you build a habit of planning and prepping meals. After doing it awhile, it becomes a regular part of your routine. Nothing in building a habit relies on willpower. If you're relying on willpower to achieve a goal, you will 100% fail. Just some food for thought...

Now for the food, Seafood Chili! Oh, how I love a good chili, but a hearty seafood soup is my dream in a bowl. I could eat it every day. Thankfully, I get Sizzlefish delivered to my door so I always have it on hand. One less thing to shop for!

I like making seafood chili in the winter and around the holidays. It's festive with the fish and colorful peppers snuggled in with the chunky tomatoes. Sprinkle cilantro on top and it's like a Christmas tree in a bowl. Haha!

It's a good recipe for a winter day when you need something warm, comforting and fast. It comes together effortlessly in 30 minutes.

The hard part is the prepping, BUT if you prep everything ahead of time all you have to do is dump and simmer. And there's ZERO willpower involved. Just pure, healthy deliciousness.

    Habit is SO powerful. When I'm in good habits, my "willpower" looks super strong, but really I'm not even trying. Re-starting the good habits (where I am right now) is the part that takes the willpower - the hard part.
    And this looks amazing. I adore seafood of all kinds!

      It just means you have to build those healthy habits again. Most people try doing too much at once though. I know you can rock this!

    Beautiful seafood dish, Megan! Love your photos, and I know it would taste amazing -- no willpower necessary! 🙂

    I'm sorry that your travel plans were foiled, but those 12 hours of sleep each night sound GLORIOUS! Best gift ever, right?! 🙂

    YUM. I want it all.
    Willpower is a mixed bag for me. On the one hand, I have it in spades, on the other hand, not at all. (I'm an abstainer, not a moderator, if that makes sense)

      Seriously? I have always had the impression that you had the outmost willpower.
