Everything old is new again...

Reruns. Dinner from the freezer. Ancho Beef Chili. Heat it up, add two kinds of beans, red kidney and pinto, and toss together a big salad, becomes a great dinner with no fuss at all. This time no sad, little overcooked corn muffins. I solved that issue with a box from Entenmann's!

  2. Good meeting, they discussed the book for five minutes, then moved on to current events so I was able to join in, LOL! I didn't ruin my streak, I still haven't read the books! She had some nice wines and lots of good nibbles. Next meeting is my house :)

  4. I like reruns. Looks great, Carol. Did you make your own mole again?

    I really glad that you did not have another corn muffin fiasco. Good save! :)

  5. Barb, LOL, it never stopped me from joining in the conversation :)

    No, Cynthia, I made a lot of the mole the first time and froze it! So when I made another pot of chili it was pretty quick to put together and just broke off a chunk of frozen mole.

  14. You know I Love freezer meals! And your's look delish. It was pizza here tonight! I've never seen precooked corn muffins. Did you ever hear of Jiffy? :-)

  15. Suzy, Jiffy are the ones I screwed up in the first place! I used one box to make 12 by mistake because it only makes 6, then burned them :) I assumed 12. Never assume, LOL!

    Kathleen, and Annie, you're on the invite list :) and I never lead, I am considered background noise! Kathleen the frozen mole looks like something from the garden :)

    LOL, Susan! Kathleen has that way about her, LOL!

    Hi, Debbie, thanks!

    Marigene, do you put beans in the chili?

    LOL, Marsha!
