i dont remember where I got this from.... I brown the meat 1-2 lbs.... drain grease and brown the onions (1cup) ..... I basically dump everything and simmer at least 1 hour up to 2 hrs

I add a can of diced tomatoes - a can of green chillies - a jar of marinara sauce - a can of kidney beans - a can of pinto beans - 1 TBS of chii seasoning + salt to taste

I make my own chili seasoning - i didnt want to invest in a jar of seasoning since i didnt know whether i would be making more chili in the future - i bought canned chili - this concoction is pretty good to me - 1 TBS of the chili powder or more or less 

i received a free packet of McCormick's chili seasoning and i like mine a lot better

make it ur own - add more cayene pepper or more paprika - sometimes i add an add'l TBS of paprika to the chili.... it is very forgiving

what is ur chili recipe?

[Yahooey]

thanks everyone for the warm BD wishes to my brother

Evening greetings, ⭐️Preds⭐️ Friends!

@KBEANS, What a wonderful plan for your anniversary!  How thoughtful your husband is. Don't you love that kind of surprise!  My late husband and I had a tradition of going to a charming little B&B in a community that had a rustic music center nestled in a tiny rural area in Virginia.  We had the chance to attend the weekend concert, visit the local shops, and relax at that lovely B&B.  There's something so cozy and special about the care taken with decor and hospitality, and getting to know the owners and the guests.  Good wishes for next weekend!

@Yahooey, A tiramisu  birthday "cake" sounds perfect to me! I think "we eat large " is an understatement.  Your family has major cooking/baking skills, dedication, and artistry I can only admire from afar.  A powdered donut cake???  What???  I'm so glad y'all had a happy day.

@MyShadowLove and @Yahooey, The pancake/pumpkin/turkey sis saga continues and gave me a chuckle.  Too bad we have those, and also the interlopers, to contend with, but at least we can smile and appreciate all the other folks who are pleasant and life-enhancing.

@cowboy sam, Glad you located that earring... but I can't even think about wearing anything remotely resembling a spider.  I have a major phobia about bugs, and spiders are the worst for me.  Can't even tolerate pics of them.  Wish I could get over that.

@SouthernBee, Our weather suddenly changed to lovely temps in the 60s, 50s, 40s... a cool, gentle breeze, and oh I am so happy!  

I hope all is well with everyone!  Love to all who read and post here.❤️

I'm glad your brother's birthday celebration was a hit. Everything sounds so delicious.

It was very nice of you to cook up a storm for your brother and family.

We sound like similar characters. @Yahooey  I am often the one who cooks for the family. I love to prepare Italian style meal's like the sausage and peppers.

I buy the thin round sausage with parsley and provolone, and cook that a lot because everyone in the fam enjoys it.

I recently bought the thin ring chicken sausage from the butcher. It was fantastic, but it doesn't have the cheese in it. Still awesome and very tasty.

thank you kindly for the comments on my over rated skills

when people comment on my cooking or knitting or gardening

i say - i can read and watch youtube

nothing in particular is original

i try - if it is good - it goes in the - gonna make that again

if it fails - never doing that again

that pertains to culinary and gardening 

although i sometimes do try try again bc i really really want to eat it

that pertains to both culinary and gardening LOL

America's Test Kitchen is a show I trust giving me good results

some of their recipe are rather fussy and i let it pass by

the gnocchi intrigued me - looks rather easy - never bought package gnocchi

i'm sure it would be expensive buying multiple packages 

it doesnt look like a lot per package

my niece who doesnt eat meat said that when she orders gnocchi from a restaurant 

the portion is usually very small and expensive - she stated that goes for ravioli also

NOT making that - just the dough alone makes me shudder

my niece said - this is really farm to table

a lot of the stuff came from my garden - either fresh or frozen

it made me very proud - i worked very hard on the garden

it starts in March with seeds indoors -

i am now dismantling it little by little each week as things die off

then will till it with kitchen scraps - section by section - even in the dead of winter

until every foot has some - so it has months to decompose until it starts all over
