    Superbowl Chili

    Every time we host a super bowl party at our house, I make this chili. It works great in a crock pot or you can double the recipe and make it in a stock pot if you have a large crowd. We always set out toppings so each guest can dress it up to their liking. Topping ideas: Sour Cream Grated Cheddar Cheese Chives Bacon Jalepenos It’s always a crowd pleaser and makes wonderful leftovers during the warm winter months. Of course chili is great paired with corn bread, but these homemade cheesy crackers are pretty amazing too!

    Kitchen Remodel Phase 1

    The image on the left is how the kitchen looked when we first moved in. There were upper cabinets and a microwave that hung directly over the stove. I’m sure in the 80’s when this house was built, this was considered very chic and efficient, however it drove me nuts!  I purposely didn’t put anything in these above cabinets when we unpacked because I knew I wanted them taken down as soon as possible.  Well, finally 1 year and a half later, I finally got those darn cabinets out of my way. Good riddens cabinets… No more cabinet door hanging right in my face when I’m trying to cook, no ducking…
