chili love.

I am a Wisconsin girl thru and thru. I drink whole milk, I adore and eat daily cheeses of all kinds, I love the changing seasons and I love Wisconsin weather. Yes, it is unpredictable, changes by the minute and is sometimes extremely harsh. I love the sun and the rain. I cherish, anticipate and embrace the storms. But most of all, I LOVE the snow and cold that winter brings. Truly...LOVE. And so, today, when we finally ventured out after a nearly two day hibernation, it was quite literally, a breath of fresh air. A refreshing 5 degrees. Love it!
Unfortunately, my little ones are a bit more sensitive to the chill and all we really got out for was a trip to the grocery store. It was definately a worthwhile trip, though. Aside from the beauty of breathing that fresh, crisp air if only for a few short moments, we got fixin's for a perfect winter meal...chili. Yum! Definately a favorite of mine and even the kids remarkably dug it. Of course with a genrous heap of sharp cheddar and a dallop of sour cream...I am a Wisconsin girl, afterall.
