Rule 71
Winter arrived and I’m feeling like chilli!
I love love love chilli!
There’s no such thing as too much chilli!
It has all of my favourite things! Tomatoes, veggies, beans
and sometimes meat!
It’s like someone sat and thought “I should create the
perfect dish for Dana...” I’m pretty sure that’s how chilli was created…haha...
No but really, don’t you just love it?
It was so good already and then the Mexicans came and put
chocolate in it! Also very good!
It’s super healthy if you make it yourself because you add
good stuff to it, so how about we’ll just jump to recipes?
