Tornado sirens. Not something you want to hear at 2:30 am. I thought we left that behind in Oklahoma, but I guess not. I WAS ready to jump into the week after spending a relaxing weekend doing absolutely nothing, but after almost 3 hours awake in the middle of the night last night, I’m moving a little slow.

The majority of yesterday was spent on the couch. Hours and hours of SVU marathon and football (a happy day in New England!).

What goes better with crime and football than a big, warm bowl of chili!?

My Dad mentioned chili to me the other day, and it’s been on my mind ever since. Football Sunday seemed like a good excuse to make it. Though I’ve made lots of chicken chili’s and bean chili’s, it occurred to me that I’ve never actually made a meaty chili.

I couldn’t leave well enough alone, though. I wanted to find something meaty AND different, and this portobello chili was perfect. It’s a great compromise because it’s packed with ground beef for the meat lovers, but also full of veggies and beans to pack in some extra nutrition!
