Junk in Food: Ugh, Not That Too!
A pot of Hearty Beef Chili was on the agenda today, the weather cool and rainy. All the usual ingredients assembled, over five pounds of meat to brown and fill the stock pot. As I opened the cans of beans and tomatoes (yes, I use canned because they are easier to measure and store for [...]
