Chili From a Can

Now that we're finally settled, I decided to put my new kitchen to work tonight and baked some chocolate chip cookies and the world's BEST coconut banana bread with lime glaze (sorry grandma, but I just retired your recipe for this one). I'm not much of a baker on a regular basis, usually just around the holidays, but it was relaxing tonight to work on something other than the house. Anyway it's almost midnight and as I was washing my dishes, I was thinking about the discovery my college roommate and I made sometime during our sophomore year. I think she was hunting for some chili in a can for dinner, which was the first time I had ever heard of chili in a can after growing up with my mom-the-gourmet-cook. She was equally shocked, having grown up on get-your-own-cold cereal-for-dinner, that anyone actually made their own chili. While I don't have the time for full-blown gourmet cooking right now, I am definitely looking forward to fall and homemade chili soon!
