Lean, mean cooking machine

I've been cooking and baking, and it feels so good!

I made this beef and beer chili yesterday. I liked it so much I had it for breakast this morning (well, that and there was almost no bread left in the house).

Speaking of bread, I made a loaf of light whole wheat bread from my Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day cookbook. It stuck to the peel before it went into the oven, so it's this weird bendy shape, but it smells delish. I may use some for french toast tomorrow morning.

And I made cornbread to go with the chili. It's just the basic recipe from the side of my cornmeal container, but it's oh-so good. As a matter of fact, I'm off to have a square with butter and honey :)
