There is no shame in simple...



A simple holiday meal that is! When you're blogging about your boys' 104 cooking experiences, you can expect a few will be very basic. Thankfully we have "McCormick" and "Jiffy" (to name a few) to thank for our Christmas Eve spread.

I love short cuts. With McCormick dry chili seasoning mix and a few key ingredients, you can have a pot of tasty chili in no time. Cade prepared ours for Christmas Eve. We did substitute ground turkey for beef to make it a bit healthier. We doubled the recipe allowing another family to join us! All it takes is a few cans of chopped tomatoes/sauce, beans, and ground beef or turkey along with the seasoning packet. We also prepared"Jiffy" brand corn bread muffins to go with the chili, prepared by Seth. Again, a very easy but delicious means to homemade!

Mom (that would be me) made the Rice Crispie Treats. I figured we'd stay with the theme of "simple" throughout! ;) I also made a tossed salad to add some fresh veggies.
