I even took out my fancy camera instead of just using my phone to spiff up this picture, but I don't think chili is very photogenic.
I love chili because it's easy to make, lasts in the fridge for a long time and is pretty healthy for you. Because I live by myself (no cats, though. I still have at least ten years before I become a crazy cat lady) I usually make a pot of chili and eat it for lunch and dinner for three or four days. And no, women don't pass gas, just in case you were thinking I was leading up to a fart joke.
Side story. When I was about two, my mom was giving me a bath and I tooted in the water. I looked startled, then said to her, "I burped in my pants!" For years, all the children in my family were required to call the expulsion of gas "burping in your pants." This is because fart is a bad word, apparently. Even now, although I am much too sophisticated to use the burping-in-your-pants term, I still call farting tooting. Fancy classy grown-up lady that I am.
Anyway, this is Cooking Light's All-American Chili recipe. It has the highest rating out of all the chili recipes on their site with 178 people singing its praises. And you know, it was pretty good. I'd rate it an 8/10. I think I might like things abnormally spicy, because this was kind of bland to me. Next time I might use more jalapenos or maybe go really crazy and add some Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce just to spice it up a bit.
I've been eating it for three days now and yes, I do have a dog I can blame any kind of rude bodily functions on, thank you very much.
