The happiest day of my week was the day I made this chili. It was spicy, creamy, and busting at the seams with flavor!
And I think it seemed extra wonderful because it came on the heels of fourth grade read aloud during which I counted not two, not three, but four kiddos, um, digging for gold. All at the same time.
What?! Maybe in first grade, but fourth? Sheesh.
My stomach did a flip turn and said feed me something good so I can forget I ever saw that. Arggh.
So now we’re going to put that image out of our heads.
Let’s focus on the awesomeness that is fall weather, oversized hoodies with high school sports names on them, and sweet cornbread with heaping bowls of spicy white bean chili.
Followed by a second heaping bowl of spicy chili and another piece of cornbread.
Followed by a nap.
Goodnight.

I love my job, but I love the weekend more. Especially when it includes a big bowl of chili.
