thanksgiving dinner

November 14, 2013

It’s hard to believe it’s only two weeks until Thanksgiving Day – fall is flying! In preparation for our big Thanksgiving dinner, we like to plan our table setting and look for new additions to our favorite china and stemware. We tend to go for a more elegant looking table and add in a few cutesy things like these Rifle Paper Co. place cards. Love them! Of course, the most important part of Thanksgiving is to remember to count your blessings and be thankful for each one!

Cheers,

Fall Floral

November 12, 2013

We love fall floral, whether it’ s our floral arrangements at home, or the clothes we’re wearing. This Joie top is definitely saying fall! With its nice bright floral, and the muted cranberry jeans, it’s a great combination. Wearing these strong colors with a nude pump and neutral clutch is a great way to focus on the outfit without too much distraction. Whenever we have a lot of color or boldness in prints we try to go neutral with our accessories. Happy Fall!

Cheers,

Turkey Chili

November 11, 2013

It finally feels like fall in Dallas! And when fall rolls around our taste buds turn to comfort food, like chili. There’s something about warm and spicy that just hits the spot, and it’s great no-fuss football food. This chili is a twist on traditional chili. It’s lighter and healthier, while still ticking the boxes of comfort food. And with Thanksgiving just around the corner, it’s a great way to use your leftover turkey. As aways, we try to use organic ingredients whenever possible. We love it and hope you will, too!

Turkey Chili

Ingredients:

1 large onion, coarsely chopped
2 bell peppers (any color), cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder (we add a bit more for extra heat)
2 teaspoons packed brown sugar
1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes in juice
1 (19-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups cooked turkey, cut into 1-inch pieces

Accompaniments: sour cream; shredded cheddar and jack cheese; chopped jalapeño

Preparation:

Cook onion and peppers in oil in a heavy medium pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Add spices and brown sugar and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes with juice, breaking them up with back of a spoon, then add beans, water, and simmer, covered, 15 minutes.
Stir in turkey and let stand, covered, until heated through, 5 minutes.

Cheers,
