I volunteered to make dinner on Saturday, a rarity for sure. When I told Damon what was on the menu......he ordered pizza. HAHA No hard feelings, more for me & I got to add mushrooms. DELICIOUS Sweet Potato Quinoa Chili adapted from this recipe at The Simple Veganista . I'll spare you pictures of the ugly quinoa. Here's Mims enjoying th 50 degree warm up.

We've been using the Melissa & Doug responsibility chart to practice manners & such. She got a little confused but was sooooo proud!! "Mom, can I get a smiley face for using my imagination today? Sure, baby what did you do? I said Please & Thank you." HAHA There may have also been an unfortunate raking incident with her unicorn. "Mom, my crouch hurts..."
