Happy Tuesday and Happy first blog post of the year!!! Y’all, OMG, it’s 2017!!! What the heck, we totally just did this whole New Year thing like just a couple of months ago right? Well, it definitely feels that way anyhow. Do you guys have any big resolutions this year? My big one is getting organized, which I am super proud to say I have already done in a big way. I have already thrown out multiple bags of trash, as well as given away multiple bags of stuff.
I really had no idea how bad it was until it took me 5 days working from morning until night to finish it. The build up of all of this stuff is just one of those things that tends to happen when you move suddenly to work a show and throwing what you can’t take with you into storage. Y’all, I will totally admit the embarrassing amount of times I asked myself ‘why the heck do you still have this?!’ while cleaning, then of course would proceed to throw it away.
I still have a number of areas to work on, but I got a huge amount done during the Christmas hiatus. Anyways, onto the good stuff. Around these parts we’ve had a number of cold days and on those days nothing is as good as a warm soup or chili, and had I known how easy chili was to make, I would have made this years ago. This chili is so freaking good y’all, tons and tons of flavor and of course the ease of using the crock pot. This stuff tastes awesome all by itself but it is especially good dipping chips into it mmmm. I hope you all are having a wonderful start to the New Year and thank you so much for stopping by!!!
