Chili has always been one of those recipes that gets gobbled up quickly at my house- thankfully, everyone is happy when it is on the menu. Originally, I made chili that was light on spice and heavy on beans when the kids were little. Now they have grown into a heartier version with lots of beef and beans. I think it is because they really like the chili they get when they are snow skiing out west. With that in mind, my husband altered our recipe to make it more “western”. It’s always a hit, and so I wanted to pass it along to you for the cooler months. I hope this makes dinner time easier for you and that you and your family enjoy every bite! P.S. I like my chili with a lot of cheese! Haha! What do you like with chili?

LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE PARTY
What began as a simple gesture to introduce my daughter to a wonderful book series has become a special evening ritual for us- reading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books! I must admit, I didn’t realize quite how interesting these books would be to her, but she cannot wait to read all nine in the series. It was only fitting that her birthday party focus around Little House on the Prairie! Together, we had a ball planning all of the details of her party that related to the books in some way. At Camille’s request, we focused on some of her favorite parts of the stories… prairie flowers, covered wagons, tee pees, the colors in the drawings of the books, and “pretty”…because “Ma” liked things to be pretty!
CAMILLE’S CLUBHOUSE ~ Confectionery, Soda Shoppe, Spa
My daughter had lots of ideas of what she wanted to do to celebrate her 10th birthday! She wanted to have lots of cookies~ and have a soda shoppe ~ and set up a spa for nail painting! With so many ideas, I knew we should come up with something that would tie it all together. And, that is how Camille’s Clubhouse became the theme- the Clubhouse is where you can find lots of her favorite things! We sent invitations with a an insert that had a “password” that had to be unscrambled and brought to the party for “entry”. That was an easy way to get the guests involved before the party even started!
