I am going to try to share my experiences and recipes with each of you a couple of times a month.
My grandmother was a big part of my life. Although I didn't know it when I was growing up, I am truly blessed to have such an amazing woman as a role model in my life. My grandmother not only loved to sing, which was not really one of her talents, but she loved to cook. I remember that it seemed like the more people she had to cook for the happier she was in life. I want to make it clear that I don't always cook well nor does everything I cook even worth eating but that does not stop me. I love to grill or bake or pan fry healthy foods with a side of "extra" not so healthy.
So since my Houston December has not been that cold but we did cool off some, this post is for one of my favorite cold weather foods: Chili!
I tried this link: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ellie-krieger/three-bean-and-beef-chili-recipe.html But only had 2 different beans, green bell pepper instead of red, no cumin and my own chili seasoning that was left over. I would leave out the carrots next time. To keep it healthier you can leave off the cheese but I did add a little to mine. Overall, very good and warm meal for a cool winters day.
Cheers my friends!
