first time chili

so last night taco bell still sounded so good, but instead i decided to try making chili. believe it or not i have never made it before. it was so easy and delicious! justin will be excited when he gets home to have a new meal for dinners!

1 15 oz can of black beans

1 15 ounce can crushed tomatoes pureed

1 small onion chopped and pureed

2 cloves of garlic finely minced

2 tbsp chili powder

and some left over shredded chicken

i just threw it all in a pot for 20 minutes to simmer! adding cilantro would have made it even better, but i did not have any. the reason i pureed the onion and tomatoes is simply because neither justin nor i like tomatoes or onions chunky in chili. but the flavor is still there from the onion making it so good.

dahlia and valen didnt want anything to do with it. that is one of the hard things with meals around here. sometimes i dont want what they are having or vise versa, so most of the time i end up making two or three different things. 

i really dont care for most crock pot meals or casseroles and that is a shame since they would be so easy to do, i guess i make it harder on myself than it needs to be!
