Before you jump to Mike's Southwestern Chili Con Queso Dip recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Try Using Food to Boost Your Mood.

A lot of us believe that comfort foods are not good for us and that we must avoid them. If your comfort food is candy or junk food this might be true. Otherwise, comfort foods can be very nutritious and good for you. There are a number of foods that really can boost your moods when you consume them. If you are feeling a little bit down and you need an emotional pick me up, try several of these.

Put together a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and so on are all great for helping to elevate your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have plenty of magnesium which raises your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is referred to as the “feel good” chemical substance and it tells your brain how you should be feeling at all times. The higher your levels of serotonin, the better you are going to feel. Not just that, nuts, specifically, are a great protein food source.

So you see, you don’t need junk food or foods that are terrible for you to feel better! Try a few of these instead!

  3. Add 4 tablespoons quality Mexican beer to hard veggies. Heat for 3 minutes. Seal bowl tightly for 5 minutes to steam and soften your vegetables. Drain any excess fluids before adding them to your cheese mixture.
  4. Chop your room temp cheese into 1" cubes.
  5. Add everything to your cheese except for fresh cilantro.
  6. Fully drained and paper towel dried ROTELL Tomatoes pictured.
  7. Canned Chili. One of my favorite brands pictured. This is a generic Walmart brand but, man is she flavorful!
  8. Fresh roasted Hatch Green Chilies pictured. Peeled, seeds removed and chopped. Use two 4 oz canned green chilies, [fully drained] if you can't find fresh roasted in your area.
  9. Heat mixture for 3 minutes. Stir well and place back in microwave for 3 more minutes. Stir well again. Heat until cheese is fully melted. Then, gently fold in your fresh cilantro leaves.
  10. Garnish your hot dip with fresh chilled chopped cilantro, colorful bell peppers, jalapeños, Mexican 3 Cheese and red, white and green onions. Serve with super sturdy, thick tortilla chips as this is one heavy, clingy dip. Ice cold Mexican beers go great with this dish as well. Enjoy!
