It was a pretty low-key day around here. I did some stuff around the house and made a big pot of chili for a casual Friday night dinner. I wasn’t really hungry for a snack all afternoon. Whenever I have sweets after lunch they sit really heavy in my stomach. Perhaps that should be a new satiety strategy! Cookies with lunch! I planned the soup to be ready around 7 when the husband was due home from the bakery but he’s still out! Guess everyone wants Great Harvest with company in town. I ended up eating by myself around 8.
I did nibble on this piece of Dakota + High Five Blend while I was waiting around 7:45 before I decided I should just go ahead and eat dinner.
The chili turned out great and was really, really easy! I turned it into a recipe page for the details:
Throw-In-A-Pot Vegetarian Chili
I topped it with a combo of melty gouda (on the bottom) and some shredded cheese on top – and ate it with these leftover tortilla chips!
Since dinner I’ve been watching the movie Deception that Karen dropped off to share. I always say I hate movies that are set mostly at night with people wearing all black (they usually = violence), but this plot is pretty good. It’s also quite scary! And I love Hugh Jackman and Ewan McGregor.
Happy Weekend!
