I should have known it was going to snow today.  How?  When my internal chili alarm went off yesterday afternoon.  This little alarm tells me to start cooking warm meals and stock up on hot chocolate and marshmallows.

After a quick search, I found this easy chili recipe (sorry, not Veggie!) that’s flavoured with cocoa powder.   The overall flavour was pretty good - I decided to drain the liquid from the tomatoes and kidney beans to reduce the cooking time.  (When the chili alarm rings, you can’t wait AN HOUR for it to simmer.)

I topped it off with a heaping of  chedddar cheese.  Delicious!

Boyfriendly rating: 4/5  (The flavours probably would have developed more in an hour, but time was of the essence.)
