Quick Three-Bean Chili

This chili cheese fries combo was just a matter of happenstance. When I made this chili I just happen to have a partly used bag of frozen fries in my freezer and some cheddar cheese in my fridge.

I rarely have frozen french fries. I might by them once every few years. I bought them to make tin foil dinner. Have you ever made tin foil dinners?

Chili Mac and Cheese

My parents went to Disney land last Fall.  For Christmas, they gave me socks that look like a mermaid tale and Mickey Mouse shaped pasta.  You cannot tell in these pictures, but each piece of pasta looks like Mickey's head.

I haven't made a pasta dish for a while.  For some reason, I usually make dishes that are served with rice instead of pasta.  I need to give pasta more of a chance.

Sausage and Beef Chile

This recipe came from my mother's recipe box.  I have eaten it before, but it isn't something I ate often growing up.  I made it at home with my mother during the holidays.

I had a wonderful Christmas and New Years.  My only complaint is I caught a cold.  I seem to catch a cold every Christmas.  In my regular life, I'm not around children.  During Christmas I see my nieces and nephews, and one of them inevitably has a cold.

Turkey Chili

I'm writing this from Utah.  I am home for two weeks.  I haven't visited for such an extended period in years. 

After Thanksgiving, my grocery store was selling cheap turkey.  I bought a small bird.  It was my first time cooking turkey.  I was pleased with the results.
