I knitted this nice, cozy cowl for myself. I wore it the next day after completing it....and I love it! We need cozy and comforting things in this wild winter weather.
Here is one of my very favorite recipes. It's one that my family has enjoyed for ages,
and has always been gluten free.
HH's Good Ol' Family Favorite Chili
Take your cast iron skillet and brown 1-2 lbs of ground beef or turkey. Drain any fat.
Browning is an important step. Once I tried to skip this step....
the results were not pleasant! :(
Mix the browned meat in your crock pot with:
1 15-oz can diced tomatoes,
1 6-oz can tomato paste,
1/2 cup water,
1-2 chopped onions,
1 19-oz can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed,
garlic or garlic powder to taste,
1 Tbs chili powder, and
1/2 tsp salt.
Optional additions:
1-2 red, green or yellow peppers, chopped,
1 tsp oregano, and/or
1/2-1 tsp cumin.
Cook 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low.
Serve with some shredded cheddar cheese sprinkled on top.
This is a comforting dish on a cold day!
