It’s that time again! As the weather gets colder, all my body wants to do is drink hot soup and sleep all day. And that’s when soups become a part of my every meal ;). This chili would go excellently with the whole wheat bread from my previous post!
I soaked dry beans overnight, then cooked it for about 2 hours before adding the other ingredients. But feel free to use canned beans to save time. What are some of your favorite winter soups?

I wanted to welcome sunshine and warm weather back into my life, since burgers and coleslaw totally reminds me of warm weather! I can’t wait to retire my winter coat and walk around without a jacket!
One of the most important ingredients when creating a delicious burger is the meat. I bought fresh ground beef, which costs a little bit more but is totally worth it. I would have loved to ground up some steak but I don’t have a food processor so that wasn’t an option.
I attempted to pair this burger with homemade coleslaw (success) and sweet potato fries (fail). I tried to bake the sweet potatoes but they weren’t crispy at all. The smaller pieces burned while the other pieces barely cooked through. Instead, they looked like strips of carrots!

My Chinese culinary skills are almost non-existent so I thought this would be a good way to practice. I was happy to learn that I could eat this dish and not pass out from the sodium/msg overload.
Let me pause here for a second and say thanks to everyone who has been so encouraging throughout my blogging journey so far! As always, feel free to leave suggestions.
