It's Sunday!!

Hi everyone!!
I hope you all have had a fabulous weekend..  I couldn't have asked for a better one myself..  Christmas Tree shopping Friday,  Christmas Tree Farm yesterday and decorated the tree we got Friday and today a mani/pedi and my new Christmas nails!!  I am loving them.. :)   Of course the weekend went by way to fast..  I made some awesome Chili in the crockpot Friday night to have when we got back from the Christmas Tree Farm..   I have enough left to make Chili Cheese Fries one night for dinner..
The Chili was easy to make..  I had some beans I had cooked and frozen before Thanksgiving and I picked up some ground beef..  yes,  I said ground beef..  I am introducing some meats back into our diet..  Rebekah is doing well with it so far,  but I have to say that 99% of the time we will be eating vegetarian..  it is better for you and it is so much cheaper..   so I cooked an onion and garlic in olive oil,  then added 1/2 lb ground beef and cooked it until it was no longer pink..  drained it,  then added chili seasoning, diced tomatoes and tomatoes with green chili's added..  cooked it for about 5 minutes and then turned it off..  The beans were thawing out in the crock pot.. when they got to where they were mostly thawed I added the meat/tomato/onion mixture and mixed it real well and cooked it overnight..  It was very yummy..  I like Chili with saltine crackers and some sour cream and cheddar cheese..
Tonight I am making a Broccoli Cheddar Quiche.   I am hoping that it taste as good as it smelled and looked when I put it in the oven..
