Well Fall is officially in the air....rainy, windy and COLD! Friday night Dennis and I joined our friends to celebrate Allison's 24th birthday! We all had a great time, but Dennis and I cut the night short since we both had to be up super early the next morning. Saturday Dennis went in to work at 6:00 a.m. and I went to the football field for Destiny's cheerleading pictures at 7! It was sooooo cold we were not prepared at all to sit through a whole game. The girls were freezing (we have little 4 year olds on our team) so the coach called it quits at half time. I know this Saturday we are going to be well prepared with leggings and gloves! When I got home Saturday I started a big ol' pot of homemade chili for me and the hubby to warm up with! My recipe is super simple...
- 1 lb. hamburger meat
- 1 small onion
- 1 small bell pepper
- 1 pack of McCormick Chili mix
- 1 large can of tomato sauce
- 1 large can of diced tomatoes
In the pot cook your hamburger meat until brown and add the chopped onion and bell pepper so that they can cook down a little. Once you have cooked the bell pepper and onion to your liking add the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes and Chili mix together. I cook the chili on low for about an hour stirring every so often.
Can't forget to add a little cheese.....
This chili was YUMMY and I got props since it was my first pot of the season! We have been eating on chili for two days now...
Saturday I went to the grocery store to buy a few groceries to last us this week before heading to Disney World on Sunday (Yippe!). I was basically looking for lunch items for us both to take to work and ran across these handy little packs of veggies for $1.98 each!
I really enjoy eating vegetables for lunch and this also comes with almonds and cheese! I am not sure my lunch today could be any healthier. I also buy these apples every time I go to the store, but they just seem so perfect this time of year. If you have not tried the caramel dip that comes with them, you should...it is very good! Caramel apples = perfect Fall food!
Dennis went to visit his Uncle Mark on Friday and brought home this gem! I didn't pay much attention to it laying on the bar until Saturday. This is not just any old Tennessee football archive book, it is filled with replicated invitations, newspaper clippings, programs, player cards and much more! It was a gift from Mark and Dennis and I will pass it along to our kiddos one day!
Anyone who knows Dennis and I know how much we love Tennessee football so this was an awesome gift! Thank you Uncle Mark! Sunday we were super lazy around the house and I just worked on my Origami Owl stuff since I get my inventory tomorrow! YAY!! I have a such a wonderful response to the product and I can not wait to start my business. I hope you have a wonderful week...don't expect too much out of me next Monday since we will be acting like 10 year olds on the tea cups in Disney World!
