Nearing touchdown

I am a fan of UNC Charlotte 49ers. I guess because my Daughter and other family members have gone there and that's a good enough excuse for right now. But It will not be long until they will be starting there first football team in the year 2013.

The football stadium will start out with 15,300 seats with the ability to expand to 40,000. You can tell the new team is on its way when you see not only the tuition prices going up, but you see more fan memorabilia in the stores around the area.

Just the other day I found these cute "Niner Nuts" sitting on the counter right next to the others cans for UNC (#1), NC State, and Wake Forest. I hope eventually they will be right up there with the big boys and I will have a new team to cheer for.
The next thing I did was sent a can of these to our friends that live in New Jersey. There daughter also goes to UNCC and is my daughters best friend and former roommate. I think they will get a laugh out it.
   
 Now what did I do with my Carolina cup?

Chili Bean Time

It's that time of year again! My husband makes his wonderful chili beans. He uses turkey meat instead of beef. I like it better than beef and its better for you. Unfortunately, you will not see this on my recipe page because its his own special blend of flavors. Everyone has there own way of making chili beans. Just try using turkey instead of beef. Kids will never know the difference and you probably wont either except it just taste better and leaner.
Now put this with a cake of homemade cornbread cooked in an iron pan and the cobbler I made last night and you got meal so good you will think your at the table with the Waltons!
