I am
practicing to be the next Iron Chef America or so you would think with all the cooking I have been doing lately. Being a stay at home, most of the time, mom gets old with all the cleaning and butt changing so I have decided one thing I can look forward to is trying a new recipe once in a while. Lame, I know but you do the best with what you have. I am going to encourage others to do the same by posting new recipes every week and if you got some good ones let me know I will give you my email I would love to try them.
This recipe is from a good client of mine. Its super easy, cheap and yummy a great one for a cold day. I like it over baked potatoes or Navajo tacos but its just as good in a bowl with a little cheese and sour cream.
Quick Chunky Chili
1 pound lean ground beef
1 medium onion chopped
1Tbsp chili powder
1 1/2 tsp cumin
2 (16oz) cans diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (15oz) can pinto beans drained
1/2 cup salsa
Combine meat and onion in 3 quart sauce pan. Cook over medium heat until meat is no longer pink breaking meat apart with a wooden spoon. Add chili powder and cumin. Cook until fragrant about 1 min. Add tomatoes, beans and salsa. Bring to boil stirring constantly. Reduce heat and cook for 10 min. Enjoy.
-I add a few squirts of ketchup when I add the beans and salsa I think it tastes better.
My sister Melissa and I decided to take some Fall pictures of our kids. Its an adventure to take pictures of children and not something I enjoy doing. But to save a few bucks we thought we would try it. 
Addison refused to look at the camera let alone smile so my sister started to sing "if your happy and you know it clap your hands" this is her doing the "your face will shirley show it" part.
Every time we tried to take a picture Zach would be eating a leaf.
You would of thought the dang things were sugar coated. 
Addison loved the falling leaves and Zach was happy to have a belly full of them.
Nap time was apon us and the kids were quickly falling apart. 
A day full of smiles, tears, and a lot of singing came to an end and I somehow managed to get a pretty cute picture.
Addison is getting smarter everyday. So smart in fact that when she needed a drink she picked up the stool put it in front of the fridge grabbed a cup (a measuring cup) and got a drink. Luckily, I heard grunting and rushed in fast enough to lock the fridge and snap a picture. Its amazing how quickly they figure things out.
