Yummy Meal for a Rainy, Fall Night
Yesterday was a rainy, fall day. The girls and I babysat in the morning and then both had soccer practice in the afternoon. Just as Nans practice was ending the rain started coming. Soon, it was a monsoon, drenching everything and everyone in site. It was raining so hard that I had to change my clothes after dropping Nan off at a friends. I was soaked. Poor Kat still had practice. Oh, was she soaked when she got home.
I decided to cook Sandra's creamy white Chili for dinner. It was a hit! It was rich, creamy and the seasonings were perfect. I didn't have corn tortilla chips but I did have some multi grain tortillas. I cut them into wedges and placed them on a baking sheet. After spraying both sides of the tortillas I popped them in a 450 degree oven to brown, turning once. Yummy and crispy. I also chopped some tomatoes to put on top of the chili along with cheese. That was a really good addition. Next was hot sourdough corn bread (from a box). I do not make very good home made corn bread, so I usually stick with the box kind. I will say that between 5 people, the pot of chili was almost gone. Instead of taking my own pictures I just linked to Sandra's site. She has some yummy looking recipes so go check her out.
I love that it's fall because I love making yummy, hot soups. I'm not into drenching monsoons (unless I'm staying inside) but I do like fall.
Hopefully later today I'll post about our first week of school and get some pictures up.
With Joy UNquenchable,
I'm glad you all enjoyed the chili, it was a huge hit with my family too :)
