Beautiful Wedding in Baltimore

Bride & Groom first dance

Back from Baltimore where Alex's great friend Drew was marrying his long time girlfriend, Eleni (she told me they had been dating for 10 years!) As previously mentioned, the ceremony and reception were at the Peabody Library in Baltimore. I have to repost the pic of the peabody and line it up from a scene in Beauty and the Beast...they are identical!

I am so glad that Alex has so many great, fun friends...but I am even happier that their girlfriends/fiances/ and wives are even more fun and nicer! Here is a picture of me with Jenny who is set to marry Joe next spring!

Fall Food Staple: Taco Chili

By far- my favorite Fall recipe. (And it incorporates cheese & sour cream - my faves!)

1 lb of 99% fat free ground turkey
1 can of chick peas
1 can of gorgonzola beans (white kidney beans)
1 can of tomato sauce
1 can of diced tomatoes (or if you like to spend time in the kitchen, chop a fresh tomato)
sprinkle of cumin
sprinkle of cayenne
dash of hot sauce
onions (optional---i dont like onions so I don't add them)

Brown the turkey. Pour everything else together in a big pot. Bring to a boil then simmer for 15 minutes. I usually wait 25 minutes. Scoop your chili in a bowl, mix in shredded cheddar cheese (better if you mix it in your chili then just leaving it on the top) and a dollop of sour cream - voila!

This makes a pretty good amount so put on your flannel pajamas, turn on some football, and enjoy a nice bowl of chili.

Enjoy!
