It's That time Of The Year - Chili

Would you believe that I never attempted to make chili until October 1st of this year? I'm 25 and just now decided to get the courage to try making it.

My chili was "acceptable" (it reminded my husband more of a spaghetti type flavor. I disagree with the spaghetti part,but it does need some work.) I'm going to have to play around with it some to get it right. As firsts go I'd say it was a success though. Lol.

Chili and cornbread ♡ Now I need Pumpkin pie and some pumpkin flavored drinks

Warmin' Up

Wow, it's been a while since I've been on here. I have to admit the weather got warm and that kept me offline, but then the weather got colder again and that's just depressing so once again I wasn't on. Oh well. I'll try to do better.

I can't wait for the warmer weather to stay! Get out, go on walks, take pictures, play with Seth, shooting hoops, hitting softballs, ..  all things we've been doing on the warm days and I can't wait to get back to it.

We've been having a lot of Milky Way recently. If you've never been to one, you're missing out. Great tenderloins, orange tangerine, vanilla coke, fries, etc. Now if only they'd put up a gate on their outdoor (and only) eating area so the kids can't run out in the lot!

Speaking of Milky Way I met a friend their for lunch on Saturday that I hadn't hung out with in a while. Had a great time getting to sit an talk to her. Honestly didn't feel like a ton had changed... besides the fact that she's engaged and I have a 2 year old.. some pretty major changes, but it just seemed right to hang out together. Can't wait to get together again!

We need to get out with some of the other friends too. It's been far to long. This means going to the park with the kids, basketball for the guys, maybe some softball, lunch, bonfires, cook outs, shopping, and all other kinds of fun. Hopefully this year we'll be better about having these outdoor things at our home and not just waiting for someone else to have them.

Bring on the warm weather!!

I have an addiction!

   I'm here to confess that I have an addiction. Scared? I'm not! It's a good addiction! 

    I'm addicted to salads! Every single day I NEED a salad. I've noticed if I don't have a salad I get to feeling funny. I feel so good eating something that is so healthy (at least way healthier than my normal food) I still eat some normal unhealthy foods, but I've found that I prefer salads.  

      Give me a bowl, lettuce, green onions, tomatoes, green pepper, red pepper, croutons, some ground pepper, and Olive Garden dressing or Sweet and Tangy French dressing and I'm in heaven! I could literally have this salad for every meal of the day and be perfectly happy! 

      I've also noticed that I've lost some weight so of course that's a plus! I love healthy addictions! How come I can't have more of them?!

      Anyone else have any healthy addictions they'd like to share? I'd love to find another healthy addiction to add to my list!
