I just love [heat]. I can't eat anything without putting some kind of a hot sauce on it. I think it's because when I was a kid, all the food in Michigan at that time was so bland I thought I hated food.
"The easiest ingredients to spice up your beans are dried spices, hot sauces, and salsas because they require no prep. Simply stir them in and they'll easily blend and disperse while the beans simmer over the stove."
There's a weird misconception that food with flavor is unhealthy, creating a culture where people think healthy food can't be fun or tasty. This misconception extends to thinking spicy food is unhealthy, but it's really about knowing your tolerance and moderation.
