Quick & Easy Chili
Posted in Everything Else, Recipe, food, tagged easy dinner, Recipe on November 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This has been a family favorite for a long time. I don’t remember which cookbook I copied the recipe out of, but I have tweaked it a little bit over the years until it feels like my recipe now. The chili tastes great the first night, but is even better the next day. We serve our chili with cheese [...]

I have been searching everywhere for a Luke Skywalker costume! I found a few online, but the choices were very limited and expensive for what they were – mostly polyester. Surprisingly, I couldn’t find any Luke costumes locally. I looked at Target, Walmart, and the Halloween [...]

Have yourself a Merry little Christmas from me and my little sheep. This is my son CJ dressed up like a sheep for last year’s Christmas pageant at our church. Check out those ears! I made them myself from a ladies Winter headband and some pieces of wooly felt and flannel. My husband says he looks like a [...]

I don’t know what it is about me, but frequently when I go shopping other shoppers stop to ask me questions. I know what you’re thinking - I must be wearing a red shirt and khaki pants when I’m at Target, or I like to wear a blue vest while hanging out at Walmart. Mmmm no, I don’t think [...]
