Chili is one of our hands-down favorite meals, and one of our favorite recipes is the chili my mom always made. In fact, this might be the only chili recipe she ever made, and for good reason, because it. is. delicious. This hearty turkey chili recipe is flavorful, filling, and not too spicy, but it can definitely be made to be more spicy if that’s what you prefer.
Are you getting ready for Valentine’s Day this weekend? We’re not big Valentine’s celebrators, but we’ve got a nice day-trip planned with friends to check out a few stops on the Kentucky bourbon trail {hiccup}. So, that should be a good time (wink). But, before we get ahead of ourselves and start thinking about the weekend already, we’ve got a party to throw! Welcome to Week 41 of the Creative Spark Link Party!
A little birdie told me there might be a lovey-dovey holiday coming up this weekend. While Tom and I aren’t much for big Valentine’s Day celebrations, we do find ways to show our love and appreciation for each other, not just on February 14th, but throughout the year. One of my favorite ways to show the special people in my life just how much they mean to me is to create a unique, handmade gift for them. These DIY Etched Champagne Flutes make for a beautiful gift, and are completely personalizable!
My mother has been making this Black Bean Soup recipe for as long as I can remember. We’d often have soup-and-sandwiches night for dinner; Mom and Dad would enjoy this soup served in her blue stoneware soup crocks, and I’d opt for something else, like Campbell’s tomato soup or clam chowder. Black beans weren’t exactly top on my favorite foods list when I was 10. (wink)
Happy February, friends!
I don’t know about you, but I’m glad to put January behind us! It always feels like such a long, grey month. I am excited for a new month, and to be one step closer to Spring! Let’s get on with the party, shall we? Welcome to Week 40 of the Creative Spark Link Party!
