Cheap and Simple

So as the end of the month approaches, I know I am not the only one that feels the pressure of the purse strings tightening.  So in spirit of the end of the month I feel its only appropriate to highlight the one meal that all of us can practically make just by opening our cupboards and having a bit of imagination.

And yes it is the magic of chilli!!

Whats great about chilli is that it actually gets better by the day and you can really put what every you want into the mix.

The most basic recipes include but are not limited to: onions, kidney beans, tomatoes, and meat.  Because every recipe tells you different ways and "special" extras like cinnamon or coffee to add a zing, I have highlighted below a few that will keep you warm on a cold night.
