I made breakfast nachos again yesterday morning – I could probably eat them every day and never get sick of them. I posted it on Instagram, tagged Frank’s RedHot, and check it out – they are now following me on Instagram! 
I never got a chance to workout at lunch – the attorneys are getting new cell phones and I needed to program them to our server as soon as my boss got back from the cell phone store. What she thought should have been a 30 minute job, ended up being nearly 3 hours – I could have gone had I known she was going to be gone that long. Oh well! I ended up bringing the second half of my cheat meal from Sunday and heated the smoked sausage and sauerkraut panini in my panini maker at work. I don’t consider this a cheat meal, just the second half of one!
We still have lots of snow on the ground, but by this time of year I am really over it. This was my view from the gym after work.
I challenged myself on the weights I was using last night – I ended up doing 40 pounds on the bench press! Then I ended up doing a 5k on the treadmill at 5% incline while watching Food Network.
My Aunt Cele gave me Food Network magazine for Christmas and I love it. Even though I downsized all my cooking magazines, I still like getting that one. I saw this chili picture and asked Hannah if she and Jacob would eat it, and she gave me two thumbs up. Probably because of the fucking French fried onions on top!
I didn’t alter the recipe too much, just added in some more veggies and of course left out the onions in the actual chili. And I did not partake in the French fried onions on top thank you very much, but Hannah and Jacob loved it.

This is what I like to call “company” chili because it isn’t too spicy, but has just enough kick from the jalapeno and chipotle pepper. I LOVED the sour cream, although just a tablespoon on top was plenty – it made a lot! I plan on having chili mac for lunch today with the leftovers.
I still ended up with decent steps yesterday even without my lunch time workout:
I am stopping by Hannah’s work on the way in, not sure if I am in the mood for a breakfast parfait or an egg sammie – they have punch cards and Tuesday’s is a double punch card – I think you only need 10 punches on the card to get a free coffee.
Make it a great day!
Does the blue corn chips mean the fryer is back from it’s basement vacation? I love food network magazine. I need to pick up this issue. I am currently behind in my magazine reading. I don’t know where my day goes. I have been reading your blog and getting my fix daily but I seem to be having issues with leaving comments at my work computer. Are those foot prints going up the snowy hill?
Shhhh…we aren’t going to talk about the fryer back from the basement vacation 😀
I have the same approach with food magazines as Helen, been doing that for years. I have cut down my subscriptions, only have 1 left and my grocery store has a great magazine for free every month that I always pick up. The rest I cancelled or they cancelled it themselves because magazines don’t sell very good here anymore with the internet. I have so many cook books with so many recipes, I need to use them more 🙂
The chili looks delicious, saw it somewhere else too this week, time to make it my own too.
Have a great day sweety.
Hey Fran! So I totally have a dream to go to Prague – how far is that from where you live? It might be my big vacation in 2016 – can you imagine all the food and fun we would have together?!
Those breakfast nachos are seriously calling my name.
They are so good Kimberly – you should try making them 😀
That looks like good chili. I love the sour cream on top! Probably would eat it with potato chips! ARGH! Would have to sub the kidney beans though. Never could handle those and I think that’s the only kind my mom knew! Frank’s Red Hot? You are still in the big leagues! But I don’t doubt it!
You are correct Abbe – the sour cream would be amazing with potato chips! I haven’t had chips and dip in a long time either 😀
Food Network Magazine is one of my favorites – I rarely make anything from it but I like looking through it.
Hope you are having a great week Kim!
Well that is neat the Frank’s Red Hot is following you….maybe they will give you samples….that would be fun. Your food always looks so good and I have to eat before reading your blog….not today though….not feeling well.
Have you checked out Lays Potato chip contest…www.dousaflavor.com win 1 million dollars by naming a new bag of chips…I bet you could come up with a winner!!! Quit the job and start your food truck!!! 🙂
Hope you are feeling better Louise! Ha, love your confidence in me and that you want me to reach my goal of owning a food truck – hugs!
I took care of the food magazines building up. This past summer I went through every single one I had laying around and cut out the recipes I wanted to try. Now when a new one comes in, I immediately go through it and do the same. It has been working well and I am trying more recipes instead of just thinking about it.
Don’t even get me started about winter weather.
Yep, that was one of the first things Hannah made me get rid of after she moved in – I think I donated upwards of 150 magazines to our library!
Ooo… Loved that you could make the sour cream more interesting. Funny, that is what interested me most about this recipe!
The tang of the sour cream with the smokey chili is amazeballs!
Ooo, that chili looks wonderful; I love chipotle spice! And I will take those onions! (Ranch-flavored french fried jalapeños would probably go well on that, too, as a garnish…I’ll have to send you some if our Whole Foods still has them.)
Okay, I may try them if they were spicy!
I got my food network magazine too yesterday. Lots of great stuff in there!
I’ve already flagged a dozen recipes from this months issue – check out this vegetable bacon fried rice!
