It was sunny again today, we got pre-approved and can start looking for houses, it's our 10 month (wow, huh?;)) wedding anniversary, and night 2 of cleaning out the freezer was an even bigger success! Leftover frozen hamburg, spaghetti sauce we already had in the fridge, can of red kidney beans, and a chili seasoning packet (yes, I know, I can make it from my own seasonings at home quite easily, next time!) = easy! Topped with avocado and a side of homemade cornbread and nachos with cheese, and we were good and happy, eating away our Mexican food, laughing at Seinfeld, and talking house business:)
Chili: you need -
- 1 lb hamburg
- 1 15 oz can red kidney beans, drained
- 1 packet of chili seasoning
- 20 oz of spaghetti marinara
- 1 cup water
- 1 avocado
Once boiling, reduce heat to medium low and let cook for 9-11 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all ingredients have mixed together and are cooked thru. So easy, and a great way to use stuff you already, most likely, have!
Now onto the good stuff - cookies! All I do is follow the Tollhouse recipe and add a cup of coconut flakes - that simple! You just have to make sure not to use too much coconut, as it cooks faster and sometimes makes it more difficult for the dough to stay together.
Off to hopefully read some blogs and watch a DVR'd Project Runway before sleep:) I hope my old boss, who we're having a surprise birthday party for tomorrow at work, is so surprised and happy! And I know my co-workers all love these cookies, so I hope they are happy with them:)
Tomorrow night - a meal recipe/photos for, oops, not so Wicked Cheap Wednesday! See you tomorrow!
