It has snowed all day. It was snowing at 5:00 am when I got up and is still snowing at 7:45 pm.
Dear Colorado,
What happened to fall?
Love,
Me (who loves fall!)
Anyways it is cold and when it is cold I like nice warm cozy foods…ala…Chili! Mr. Gaunt and I made this in a GIANT pot (lots of leftovers) and it was so easy and so yummy! Here is the recipe, its kind of dump and stir sort of deal:
INGREDIENTS:
1 Medium Onion
1 lb Extra Lean Jenny-o Ground Turkey (the lean had 8gr of fat and the extra-lean has 1.5)
1 Can Black Beans
1 Can Pinto Beans
1 Can corn
1 Can Diced tomatoes with Chili’s (or any kind of tomatoes)
1 Small can of Tomato Paste
1 Packet Low Sodium Chilli seasoning
1/2 Can Water
Fat Free Sour Cream
Low Fat shredded Cheese
DIRECTIONS:
Dice and saute onion, add turkey and cook throughly.
In a large pot add everything (except cheese and sour cream)! Then stir in the onions and turkey. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer on low for 10 minutes. You can add more water if it’s too thick. Top with a dallop of Soup Cream and a sprinkle of cheese.

P.S. Hula says hi! And a little peek at the entry way paint job.
I think this is a perfect time to try out that recipe!
I moved from the east coast to Colorado a few years ago, and I was disappointed to discover that there is no autumn here. There are, however, five different seasons:
Spring
Summer
The Beginning of Winter
Is It Still Winter?
and
OMG, Won’t Winter Ever End?
I discovered exactly WHY bears hibernate!
