Winter is officially here

Yep, winter's here (forget for a moment that it got warm on Monday), Maureen and I made a nice big pot of chili. Actually, this was my first time making my own chili, but still.

We based it on the Food Network's Rachel Ray's Veg-Head Three Bean Chili. We used serrano pepper instead of jalapeno, chick peas instead of refried beans, added a vine tomato (diced) in addition to the crushed tomato and used a spice package that included cumin, paprika, red pepper powder and chili powder.

It came out pretty nicely. The beans were fantastic, and the spices were super hot. And the side of guacamole worked very nicely.

Well done, team.
