I have a request for anyone who is still reading my blog. My Dad came up with this brilliant idea the other day. My brother has been working a lot of nights up at the bar in town and it has been kind of a nice break just to be able to sit down with my parents after work and have dinner and just talk, ya know, about adult stuff. As we were preparing dinner my Dad says to my Mom, "Hey, I have a really good idea. How about once a week, Ashley prepares dinner." My Mom instantly starts laughing and I of course do the typical eye roll and say, "Yeah right. I don't know how to cook." He says, "Exactly, its your chance to learn."
This is going to be very interesting being I just learned how to brown hamburger about 2 years ago. But I think I can do it. So, what I am asking you is to send me any recipes that you may have for good dinner ideas. I believe this will start next week. Give me a week or so to prepare for this madness.
I better go purchase a chef hat. It's only fitting.
I made a five-bean chili last week with cornbread muffins! Huge hit! Here's the recipe:

Also tastes great with freshly-shredded cheddar or a baked potato. I added some extra peppers for a little zing :)
