Two Bean Chili Mac
November 23, 2014
It’s a blizzard out there. No really, many cities are experiencing frigid temperatures due to the polar vortex. I’ve already experienced the first snow of the season and I’m assuming I will see many more snow days. Luckily it’s looking like clear roads ahead for this upcoming Thanksgiving.
This Wednesday I’m loading up the car (well with the help of my hub) and we are traveling south to the Texas Hill Country for a little r&r with the family. Not to mention we will be celebrating a special someone’s 2nd birthday!!!
My sister is hosting Thanksgiving at her house on Friday and we are celebrating the actual day with food to be determined. After a big meal I’m always up for leftovers or small meals that are easy to prepare. Most people are tired of seeing their kitchen and just want to sit and visit with loved ones.
Today I’ve teamed up with Swanson to bring you this easy two bean chili mac and a pretty awesome giveaway. As long as I can remember I’ve always used Swanson as my go to brand with broths. They recently just launched a new cream starter, which is perfect to create a nice creamy base to any soup of your choice. I’m thinking tomato basil soup or a creamy chicken broccoli soup for my next soup choice. This chili soup is easy to make and is perfect for a cold chilly night.

Recently I was in such a busy schedule that I cooked dinner only a couple of times a week. I decided to order food through the food delivery site https://tovala.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html and was pleasantly surprised. Fast, convenient and delicious – it turned out to be a real salvation! Sometimes it happens that there is no time to cook, and delivery really helps out. Next time I will use this site, it turned out to have a good selection and reviews. I think this will become my new habit on such days.
