Dinner at Home


Caprese Salad
Fresh mozzerella, thinly sliced tomato and large basil leaves seasoned with salt and pepper and sprinkled with oil and balsamic vinager.


Chili con Carne
This is one of the only meals that Giao makes and it is really good, hearty, spicy chili. We finish it off with some grated cheese, fresh, diced onions and a dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt.

-3 lbs lean ground beef
-3 cans chopped tomatos
-1 can water
-2 tb beef bullion
-3 large bay leaves
-2 onions, diced
-1/2 cup chili powder
-3 tb granulated garlic
-1 tb ground cumin
-1 tb cayenne
-1 tb paprika

Sautee and onions and the beef together until beef is browned. Drain all fat. Add the remaining ingredients in bring to a boil. Then turn the heat to low and simmer for 1-2 hours, until thick.
