When I set the chili in front of Quin, he looked at the black bean and asked, "Why are there chocolate chips in my food?" Tyler, of course, ate the muffin and avoided everything but the cheese in the chili. Addison actually tried everything without making a fuss and then proceed to fill her pants. Apparently the beans work fast!

Looks pretty good. How did you like it? The line about your little Addison made me lol.
:)
It was so good! If I had kids that like spicy stuff, I would have used the green chilies but I left those out.
I love the Eat, Shrink and Be Merry ladies (I have other books too). You can never go wrong with them. The Indian Appleous is SO yummy.
That looks great. I'm going to give that muffin recipe a try. We love them, but I've never actually made them myself.
Don't forget to link your post back to mine so we can all find each other's What's cooking Wednesday recipes.
I have to admit I've never used a muffin mix. The Muffin Mania book recipes are just as easy as a mix! For the Cornmeal muffins, I knocked back the sugar by 1/2... but if you like sweet, I'd keep it at what the recipe suggests.
