Chili in the slow cooker was an awesome way to end a ski day. I make my chili with the typical incredients (ground beef, kidney beans, tomotoe, onions, etc.), but I also add in finely chopped mushrooms and a finely chopped carrot. Shhh... don't tell the kids!
To go with the chili, I made bread in the bread maker. It was a french bread recipe, but I felt like experimenting so I switched out some of the flour for whole wheat flour and programmed it for the whole grains cycle instead of the french bread cycle. It was delicious. I've also been playing with the amount of salt. The recipe I got off the Internet had called for 1.5 tbsp of salt. The first time I made it, I followed the recipe and it was way too salty. This time I used about half the amount of salt, and it's very good. I want to try adding in some flax seed powder next time. I hear it is supposed to be very healthy and good for the digestive system too!
Nadim managed to take a spill on the ski slopes. He twisted his knee quite badly. Hopefully he will be recovered enough to ski next weekend. The kids have been loving their lessons and always want to keep skiing. It's or first year skiing and we're enjoying it immensely, with the exception of Nadim's little accident of course!
