Guinness Chili

Bowls

Good morning! How was your weekend? Mine was busy. I had a lot of stuff to catch up on and managed to get it all finished. Sadly that did not leave a lot of time to enjoy the nice weather. It’s funny because all I hear about lately is the weather, the unseasonably warm weather, the unseasonably wet weather. It seems this year winter is a little confused everywhere. 

This week it is back to “winter” weather here so yesterday I made a pot of chili which I find is the perfect lunch on a cold day. This chili is so easy and it is delicious, if I do say so myself.
