Four Foods On Friday #58

posted in a little bit of everything |

WOW!  I actually missed the last couple of weeks and almost forgot to do this today.  Friday sort of snuck up on me and here it is, all ready!  This week has absolutely flown by but I am going to post my favorite meme Four Foods on Friday , before I head out to do a little holiday shopping.

This weeks questions and my answers:

#1.  Does your family usually eat meals in the kitchen or somewhere else? We usually do eat dinner at the kitchen table. It really gives us a chance to unwind and talk about the day without the interference of the television or anything else. It’s the one chance to really focus on each other.

#2.  Who usually does the dishes in your house? Me, me and me.

#3.  What’s your favorite small appliance or tool in the kitchen? I don’t really have a favorite. I have to have a coffee maker and I currently despise the one we have. I probably couldn’t go without my electric mixer either, it’s a must for making mashed potatoes which is a staple in this house!

#4. This one’s for my son. Share a recipe for chili. Let’s see. I just made this one on Monday, let’s see if I can remember it.

Brown hamburger and put in crockpot. Add 1 can tomato sauce, 1 can diced tomatoes, 1 T chili powder, 1 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. pepper, 2 cloves chopped garlic, 1 chopped onion, 1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin. Heat on low in crockpot for 6-8 hours.

Add 1 can kidney beans 20 minutes before serving and continue to heat. Serve with grilled cheese sandwiches.

    I really want to make chili now! My recipe said to add the kidney beans too. Maybe I should wait like yours says otherwise they might get too mushy. Good idea :)

    Yum! I’ll have to try your chili recipe sometime soon. Like you, I wouldn’t want to do without my mixer… the mashed potatoes just wouldn’t be as good.

    I wonder why I only make mashed potatoes for special occasions. You have them a lot?

    I agree, the kitchen is the best place to hold everyone hostage, sometimes we’re so busy we hardly see much of each other.

    Chili and grilled cheese. What a perfect pair! I have never thought of putting the two together but from now on that is exactly what I will be doing!
