Dinner at Home


Chili Con Carne
We made a very large portion of Giao's awesome chili and simmered it for about 5 hours.

-5 lbs ground beef
-2 large onions, diced
-2 bell peppers, diced
-5 cans diced tomatos
-1 can water
-3 tb beef boullion
-5 bay leaves
-2 tb garlic powder
-3 oz ground chili powder
-1 tb cayenne
-3 tb cumin

Brown the beef and the onions in a very large pot. Drain the fat and return the meat and onions to the pot. Add the tomatos, the boullion dissolved in the water and the bell pepper. Stir to combine. Add all of the spices, mix thoroughly and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to very low and simmer for a few hours, stirring every so often, until the chili is thick and not watery. Serve with sour cream (or Fage yogurt), diced red onion and grated cheese.


Fresh Strawberries with Chocolate Whipped Cream
Add a little cocoa powder, vanilla and Splenda to whipping cream and whip until stiff peaks are formed.
