I have to say it always feels bitter sweet when the kids go back to school. It’s nice to have the routine but it’s not nice to have the routine. Am I right?! I am looking forward to cooler temperatures and the leaves changing colors.
As the shorter days and cooler weather approaches, the urge to bake and make more hearty meals ramps up. Soups, chili and grilled cheese sandwiches, chicken pot pie. I could go on!
With the kids back in school I am trying to meal plan again and get myself better organized in that area! (More on that in upcoming post) It’s frustrating to not have any idea what to make for dinner and/or not have all the ingredients for something I see on Pinterest!
The temperatures are going to be in the high 70s for the next week, so while the “comfort foods” are calling we are not quite there yet.
Tonight we are having chili with grilled cheese sandwiches. I didn’t make this in the crock pot this time but you certainly could.
This recipe tastes even better the next day… if there is any left over!
I use a similar recipe but I’m doing Keto so I don’t include beans of any kind.
