I've got most of my supplies together for Thanksgiving. I was able to find a large tin pan to cook my 17lb. turkey in for $1 at the dollar store. (They were $10 at Meijer.)
This week is going to be so busy too, but I hope that I will be able to keep up with the blog again.
Thing One, Thing Two, and I have all had stuffy noses, so I've been keeping the humidifier going during the day.
Here is a video of Pops and Thing One having fun this weekend at Grandpa's house!
This is a recipe for our Family Favorite Chili. I make it in the slow cooker first thing in the morning, and then will let it sit all day; everyone being able to serve themselves whenever. This meal is perfect for when I'm busy and can't make 3 meals that day, or am going to be gone for the day. It has two protein sources and is very filling! This can also be made without the meat, or without the beans. You can also add only one can of beans if you want, but I like two. You can vary the seasonings as well. I like a lot of cumin, and only enough chili powder to give it a little bite, not a big kick.
