It's National Chili Day!!! SIMPLE HOMEMADE RECIPE

With it being National Chili Day-I thought I would share with you my personal homemade Chili recipe I got from my sister (who is a nationally certified Chef and instructor) with you! It is so simple and so delicious! Enjoy!

This recipe is for a Chili used as a dip or over Frito's, but read the tips below to make this a regular ol' "chili in the bowl" recipe!

What you will need:

1 lb. Hamburger

1/4 cup flour

1/4 cup chili powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt to taste (you will need a lot of salt!)

Water & Chicken Stalk

1 small onion

Directions:

Mix all your dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

Brown hamburger with onions (I leave the hamburger fat in for this recipe, but you can drain if you want)

Add dry ingredients over medium/low heat to hamburger/onion mixture and stir CONSTANTLY, do NOT let burn!! YES, you are adding dry ingredients to just the hamburger FIRST.

Once this is mixed together, add 1/2 parts chicken stalk to 1/2 parts water, this is to THICKNESS that YOU want. There is NO RIGHT OR WRONG amount here. Add a little bit of your water and chicken stalk at a time for thicker or thinner chili.

Use this as a DIP or over FRITOS for FRITO PIE.

TIPS:

This can be used as a regular chili, just add to the mix celery, canned tomatoes and kidney beans! Top with sour cream and cheese if you fancy that as well!

USE A LOT OF SALT for flavor!

Use HOT salt for an extra kick!

ADD HOT SAUCE for another added kick!


Cheers!

The Journal Is Mine

A lot of people were curious as the owner of the journal Jeff 'found' at DSW airport. Of course, it has been revealed that the journal is mine. I want you to know that it was not our intention to mislead you or upset you. It was such a therapeutic way for me to share my personal story with you. I gave my permission to share my journal with you and when the time was right, we revealed it was me. We would never ever share someones secret journal on the air, but in this case, it was O.K.! I want to thank you for reaching out to me on Facebook, on our 'air' and in person as well. It means a lot to me all the support I am getting in this troubled time. It was such a release to be able to say out loud to you what was happening with me. It was hard as I just moved to South Florida and my nearest family member is 1,800 miles away. I felt a little lonely and scared to admit what was going on and I literally felt nauseated every day. I confided in Jeff FIRST before anyone else. I sat in our little office and turned toward Jeff and said "Can I talk to you?" I had tears in my eyes and spilled my heart open to him. Jeff was such a rock for me and he didn't say anything to anyone as I asked and he let me know that when I was ready, we could talk about it with you. I held my feelings in for a very long time and slowly I started feeling like myself again and decided that there was no 'easy' way to spill the beans with you. I couldn't just say "I am getting an annulment, but it's a long story." I also like feeling connected with you, we are a 'family' here and with being so new, I was starting to feel a little lost because I wasn't sharing my life. This was the easiest and most therapeutic way for me to share my life with you and what was going on. The support has been tremendous! Thank-you! I can't say it enough. I feel so much better after coming forward with my story and thank-you to those of you who are sharing theirs with me as well.

Bless You!!

Cheers,

Jimmy Kimmel on Jay Leno on Oprah!

Kimmel On "Sucker-Punching" Leno

Yesterday, Jay Leno went on Oprah and said that Jimmy Kimmel “sucker-punched” him when Kimmel appeared on his “10 @ 10″ segment. Well, Kimmel devoted a chunk of Jimmy Kimmel Live last night to deliver another sucker-pu… I mean, a fascinating, behind-the-scenes look at how it all happened.

Check it out:




Kimmel talked about being booked on The Jay Leno Show, and the standard talk-show process of being “pre-interviewed” — when a staffer goes over with the guest the general topics that will be discussed. When Kimmel realized that Leno wanted to ask him stuff such as “What’s your junk-food weakness?” Kimmel balked, claiming he told the staffer, “I really think we have to talk about what’s going on with Jay and Conan because that’s what people want to hear about – not about my junk food weakness.”

He was told that Jay felt “‘there’s been a lot of talk about that stuff and we don’t want to beat it to death.’”

Kimmel paused and said, “But what he did not understand was I did want to beat it to death. I like beating things to death. And so I did.”

Then Kimmel delivered the roundhouse right:

“If I made any mistake, the mistake I made was thinking Jay would have anything other to say than what was written on the cue cards. I figured he’d get into it and mix it up. You know, at one time he was a comedian. But he just stood there, kind of reading through the questions like a robot and then goes off and rats me out to Oprah.”

In case you forgot the original segment, here it is:



Kimmel concluded last night by jokingly whining Lenoesquely, “He’s a tattle tale. Oprah and I had a wonderful relationship and now it’s ruined because of Jay.”
