Happy New Year!!
I still can’t believe its 2015!
I have been cooking up some great (and healthy) recipes and doing some projects that have been easy that I cannot wait to share with you!!
First, I think I will start with this chili recipe I tried last night. It was DELICIOUS! Literally the whole meal, my husband and I kept saying “wow, this is so good!” “this is delicious” “we have to make this all the time”.
My favorite part is, IT’S COOKED IN THE CROCK POT!!
So- give it a whirl, it was quick and nutritious, and easy! Im learning to take better pictures of food (which is an art in itself, that I haven’t mastered) so if my picture is off-putting, I promise it will taste great!
