Let's Make a Deal (& in other news, Chili)

As much as I dislike waiting for things to arrive in the mail, I am going to shop cyber monday instead of braving the mall. I remember one year my sister in law and I braved the crowds on the Friday after Thanksgiving (years ago ... 5?) and it totally ruined me. People were so rude! I decided saving some money was not worth it because I came home grumpy, jaded, and exhausted.

I really admire all you brave souls that can handle it and score the good deals. You'll have to stop lurking and actually post a comment about what you found (anyone can post a comment - just do it under annonymous and post your name). Deal?

In other news, Wayne and I are trying very hard to eat healthy (this time of year is no big deal for him - he actually loses weight during the holidays because he doesn't like any of the food -- and it is the time of year that I have the hardest time. It's all my favorites!). I made this chili last night (which I found originally here) and it was delicious. I mean, really fabulous!


My friend Melissa turned me on to the tortilla strips (found in the fresh herb/produce section of the grocery store -- 35 calories for 2 TBSP.) that you garnish on top. I also added a scant bit of jack cheese and cilantro to the top. So pretty and yummy!
