Today marks the 3rd day in a row we've had no school due to inclement weather. With snow on the ground it made the perfect day for chili, and I had several containers of leftovers that I could sneak into the chili pot.
Onions & tomatoes from the tacos this week, canned tomatoes left from some I put in the meatloaf this week, two small containers of spaghetti sauce, and the leftover beans from one day this week.
This is a good example of the "use it up" philosophy we subscribe to at the Frugal Workshop. No food waste here this week and no one was the wiser that these things were added.
Here is what the chili looked like afterwards:
Here is my daughter's bowl:
Afterwards, we settled down to play a game of Crazy Eights.
School has been cancelled again for tomorrow, and law enforcement officials are telling people to stay off the roads as they are dangerous. Looks like I will have gas leftover at the end of this week too, just like last week. I think by the time this is over I am going to have cabin fever, lol.
Hope you all are staying warm where ever you are.

Your chilli looks very tasty. Hope the snow melts soon for you. We have rain and rain and more rain.

Thank you, Carol. We had a warmer day yesterday at 44 degrees, so some of it is melting. Sorry you've had so much rain. I know that can be dreadful too at times.
