New Cooking Experiences

Nothing goes together better than cool weather and warm foods. As some of you might know, cooking is not one of my many talents, but I am trying to fix that. I decided it was time to move out of my comfort zone of mac n cheese and chicken and rice. So this week I made Chili. It turned out so well and it fed us for 3 days. So if you're looking for something to warm your spirits this fall you should try this.


Brown 1 lb. ground beef. Make sure pieces are fairly small.
While beef is browning chop 1/2 cup onion.



In a pot combine...
1 14 oz. can tomato sauce
1 14 oz. can kidney beans with liquid
1 14 oz. can pinto beans with liquid
1/4 cup diced green chilies (I just bought a small can)
1 can diced tomatoes
1 tsp. Cumin
2 Tbsp Chili Powder
1 cup water
1/2 cup onions
Salt and Pepper
Simmer for 2-3 hours
Then Enjoy! I like to add cheese, sour cream and eat it with chips. My husband loved it, and it's so easy. This cooking thing is a breeze!
My next endeavor is potato chowder. Complete with bacon and broccoli.

One Year Ago...

One year ago today I married my best friend! I couldn't have designed a better man for me. He knows what I'm thinking before I do. He knows when I'm feeling down even if I don't say anything and most importantly.. he puts up with all my womanly craziness.

I love you dear! Thanks for the first of many great years!
