A Pot of Chili?
And a houseful of family 
Thought we’d have a quiet weekend but turned out otherwise..LOL!!!
Phone rings, 9:30 a.m….daughter Angela says “Mom whatcha doing today”….”nothing”….”can we come spend the afternoon?” “sure”
Phone rings 10:30 a.m……. son Jon says….Can I come over? sure :) then comes Chris.
Thank goodness for backup meals. Always have a few extra dinners for days like this!! I made my infamous healthy version of chili using Ground Turkey Breast (instead of ground beef) used V8 Low Sodium Vegtable juice for the base and lots of chili powder!!
The pot was huge!! I was ready. After all the kids were here I sent my husband to get Dad since he really is enjoying Talan more these days
We ate, laughed, and just had a fun day!!
Hope everyones weekend went well. Did you exercise? Did you eat good?
Before I leave, just wanted to share these from Womans Day Magazine
