Hey, Baby, what's cooking?!

I think I'm finally finding my groove. After thinking about this blog I've concluded that it needs a slant in order for me to want to post something. I was just in the kitchen emptying the dishwasher when the idea came to me: My blog needs a new name, layout and the focus will be on cooking because that's one of the things I really enjoy, and I'm eternally looking for great new healthy recipes and school lunches for my kids.

In any case, as I emptied the dishwasher and thought about what I had cooked the last couple of days, I remembered the recipe for an amazing vegetarian chili that we've just about gobbled up. My daughter recently had a birthday and wanted to get together with a few friends to eat sloppy joe's while watching a movie and just "hang." One of the friends doesn't eat meat, so ever the passionate homecook, I was trying to find a tasty vegetarian dinner option that would make the friend feel included. The chili turned out to be a hit with almost everyone, including my meat-loving husband and "sharptooth" younger daughter. My husband said he couldn't even think of anything to improve the recipe, it was great as it was. I did follow the recipe, by the way, no substitutions other than using frozen corn instead of fresh.
