Upsidedown Chili dog Nachos

In preparation for the annual chili cook-off (more on that in a future post) B practiced his chili. It was yummy. With the leftovers we made what has perhaps been one of my best creations.

lay some tortilla chips (we like blue ones) in a casserole dish. And cheese, leftover chili, and hot dog/brat pieces, and salsa. Then. top it with another layer of chips, and top that layer with cheese. Bake in the over for 5 - 10 mins

While in the oven, put salsa, sour cream, avocado, etc. in the bottom of a wide bowl.

When the cheese has melted over the chips in the oven, pull out the casserole dish and scoop the chips & etc. into the bowls. This way, you can use the chips as a scoop for the toppings (bottomings?) and you wont end up with plain chips on the bottom of the bowl.

Sassy Water



B and I are on a diet and are attempting to fight off flu, cold, infection, etc.

We are drinking this water, called Sassy Water which has come from the Flat Belly Diet Cookbook. Bob does not like the term 'sassy' so we have just started calling this 'flavored' water.

Take 1 cucumber and 1 lemon, wash the outsides, and thinly slice them. Toss them in a pitcher.
Toss in one or two sprigs of fresh mint leaves. Then, grate some fresh ginger into the pitcher. Fill pitcher with water, refrigerate, and enjoy.

It's really good, but ruins your life because plain water is just so boring after having 'sassy' water.
