Chili & Cornbread

Even the Dinner Queen gets caught off guard ~ tonight was one of those nights.  So a quick look into the pantry and Chili & Cornbread became tonight’s meal.  I always try to have some basics on hand for just a time as this.  I didn’t have any hamburger and I didn’t want to use the leftover tri tip…so our chili was 95% vegetarian.   While the beans, tomatoes and spices were simmering;  I grated some cheese, sliced some green onions, and cooked four slices of bacon to top our chili. 

I served a chilled Caesar salad and I baked a box of Jiffy corn muffin mix to enjoy with our chili.  Now it’s back to my semi-annual task of swapping out my wardrobe.  With temperatures in the 80’s I’m saying good bye to my sweaters and hello to tank tops and shorts!
