first attempt at homemade chili and it went pretty well - good bit of smoky chile flavor without being overwhelming. served it over whole wheat elbow pasta with yogurt instead of sour cream. even garnished it with fresh cilantro that i had in my fridge!

"Healthy" Chocolate Chip Cookies

I made these a few weeks ago & just got my camera to start uploading again. I had a craving for chocolate chip oatmeal cookies and found this variation on them - I liked them because the main cookie part wasn't as sweet/floury as most regular cookies are so the chocolate flavor stood out more.
