Our house is extra cold today. Isn't that a lovely thought? I will exercise in a few minutes to warm up and get some energy, then I will delight in my home duties. We have so many things to do today and I want to be sharp and capable.
I soaked some red kidney beans last night. I will make homemade chili today. It is Matthew's favorite. He is 18 years old. When he comes home from work tonight, there will be a nice hot supper for him. I keep asking him what he would like with the chili, but he doesn't want anything. What do you normally serve with chili?
I am thinking about baking some homemade bread next week. I haven't made fresh bread in a long time. I think I will make a white loaf. What is your favorite bread to make? Do you have an easy recipe to share?
I better get to my exercises before I lose any more time! Hope you have a wonderful day!

We make cornbread, too, or serve it over pasta.
I love any fresh baked bread, but my favorite to make is a Maltese Recipe called Hobz. I make little personal sized loaves and brush them with salt water and a little olive oil before baking.
The best things to serve with chili is cornbread, thick slices of white onion, and jalapenos cut in half, seeded and rinsed to cool them a bit. Then, you must have something chocolate--in fact, try some recipes with chili that has cocoa in it--hey, the Aztecs knew thier food!
Our house is warm.
I hate chili... my family all love it however.
We are making homemade pizza today, playing games, and watching movies later.
I love homemade bread!!
I forgot to ask... where do you get your lovely photos you use for your blog??? are the from a paid or free site??? I would be interested in knowing... I love them... so cozy and old fashioned.
Cornbread in a cast iron skillet with chili--divine!
Blessings to you, Mrs. White!
You have said the nicest thing about my blog! I gulped and just about cried. Thank you for telling others about my homehaven. Appreciate your kindness.
We just have soda crackers with our chili. Sometimes shredded cheese on top of a hot bowl of chili.
At times we have used ground turkey instead of ground hamburger. With spices it makes the turkey tasty. Less fat and cheaper to buy than beef.
I love homemade bread. It's so delicious with a pat of butter on it. I only make homemade bananna bread with some nuts in it.
I'll have to locate the recipe and post it. A friend of mine wrote the recipe out on an index card for a wedding gift and I have had it since I was married.
God bless you,

Blessings to you Mrs. White! We serve our chili with cornbread, or I sometimes bake a homemade french bread that also goes well with it. My husband's favorite way is to serve it over rice.
Have a blessed day!
Hello Mrs. White, I too,like my chili with cornbread or over rice.It's also good with corn. My dear Mother-in-law says she has always served chili with hominy.
I love your gracious style of writing. Do you have any books out?
Thank-you so much for all your help!You help my attitude so much.
I also enjoy cornbread with my chili - it must be sweet cornbread though!!
Other times I will make baked potatoes - especially if the house is a little chilled. I use the heat of the stove to help warm the house and. I split the baked potatoes and put the chili on top. Extra filling and a nice change of pace.
I like to make butter dips (bread sticks). It is a flat bread with butter on the outside, so they are a little crispy. My children love chili too. I am going to have to make some soon. Thanks for the meal idea. I am now following you.

We always have our chili (sin carne - we're vegetarians) with brown rice.
As for bread recipes: I think the best one I have is a Challah recipe which I shared on my homeschool blog last summer.
(But I aslo like soda bread a lot, as it's quick and easy - and very tasty when still hot.)
I’m from Cincinnati, Ohio. We eat chili over spaghetti with shredded cheese on top and call it a 3-way. Sometimes we add onions or beans which makes it a 4-way. All 5 is a 5-way. Oyster crackers and hot sauce on the side. Or, a cheese coney is a hot dog with chili and cheese. Add mustard and onions if desired. :) Now I’m hungry.
