I will never make another type of cut out cookies again after the results of this little experiment that we did recently.

Whenever I make up a big batch of this stuff, I always freeze the leftovers and we get at least 3 more meals out of it over the next few weeks.And then I make more!

So the other day when I was making up a new batch, I thought it was high time I shared this food revelation with you, just in case you never realized how easy chili can make your dinner-cookin’ life!.I’ve made all different versions, but this is the simple one I always come back to:.-1 lb ish of ground beef or turkey (not a big deal if it’s still frozen, it’ll defrost in the crock pot).

-2 cans of any kind of beans.-1 can of diced tomatoes.

-1 bell pepper of any color (or dehydrated from the spice cupboard if you don’t feel like chopping at all).

And then some spices:.This time though, I had a little eureka moment.

I could just paint it!.So, if you’re new around here, then right about now you’re probably thinking “Why doesn’t she just paint the walls a color that she likes?” Well, I could, but that would really be a big silly waste of time seeing as how all the ceilings need to come out and be raised up and replaced, and also the walls all really need to be torn out and re-drywalled.

It’s all in pretty sad shape.So temporary quick-fixes are the name of the game around here until we can get around to do a full reno on every room.. Anyway….
