Chili and Macaroons

Last weekend I made up some macaroons and chili for Sunday dinner. I have never made macaroons, but they were really simple and tasted SOOO good. All eggy and coconutty. I decided to use two types of beans in the chili and was pleased with the taste. Here are the pics.

Chili beans, they look so pretty:

Dessert, well okay we actually ate these first:


Today I am practicing Thanksgiving dinner. Pictures to come later.

Banana Bread

So what do you do when you have left over bananas that are to ripe to eat? Why you make banana bread of course! Well at least I do. I have not had much time to be in the kitchen since I started grad school, but I found time this morning. I hate to throw anything out if I can use it to bake so I whipped up an easy banana bread (sans nuts, I don't like nuts in my banana bread). Then later in the day I made up some chili. I have a picture of the banana bread that I will post later.
