So blogging seems to be the thing to do these days. I never ever ever thought I would actually start my own. My sister has a really good one: http://perfectlytaylord.blogspot.com/. She is a pretty busy gal too and I figured if she can do it, so can I! Please forgive any misplaced commas or improper grammar. I figure I can get away with it if I warn you ahead of time. Ha. Unfortunately texting has been my main form of written communication for way too long.
My goal here is to have an online journal that my son will be able to read one day. I love the idea of Abraham looking back and reading about his life and how much his father and I have always loved him. He is my darling angel and always will be!
I will probably post some recipes and crafts here and there. I'm not the best cook and when I do make something good I can never remember how I did it to make it again! I've also recently become a fan of Pinterest which is full of crafting blogs! I would love to post a tutorial or two if I can come up with a worthy project.
So here it goes.
Last week I made a huge pot of the worst chili I have ever tasted. I threw out the entire pot. It was way too salty and just had no good flavor to speak of. Tonight I am going to try again. This is the recipe I am trying tonight. I will post tomorrow to let you know how it goes. I think my problem last time was that I used a vegetable boullion cube and a can of "chili starter", 2 things I had never done before. This time I am going to keep it simple.
3 Bean chili
3 16oz cans light red kidney beans
1 16oz can reduced sodium pinto beans
1 large can black beans
1 large can rotel tomatoes and green chilies mild
1 16oz can italian diced tomatoes...I didn't realize these had seasoning until after I poured them in..oops!
1 32 oz box swanson vegetable broth
3/4 c frozen corn
6 garlic cloves
1 large onion
1 tbsp cumin
1 tsp cayenne powder
Wish me luck! I'm cooking it in the crockpot overnight so we can eat it for dinner tomorrow after a long day of Christmas shopping.
