Spaghetti Chili
"This is a recipe my mother made up. It has been a long time tradition in our family. We called it Poor Man’s Chili because it was thrown together with what we had in our cupboards. As strange as it may sound, spaghetti in chili. It is very tasty and many have asked for this recipe after a potluck. Extremely filling. (it will probably feed more than the serving size says. I wasn't sure so I guesstimated.) LOL! I love this recipe it is one of those that will hit the spot on those cold winter days and it is very quick and easy too. Hope you all Enjoy!"

I am very busy mom of three. My three are all spread out in ages. 14, 11 and 5. So I am constantly running kids from one activity or sporting event to another. I don't have a ton of time to spend in the kitchen but, when I find a recipe that is a hit with my 5 year old (the pickest of the three) then I will post it here. All of my recipes are for the most part quick and easy. Some are freezable and so I make alot and take it out and microwave as needed.
I am also a gymnastics coach. Gymnastics has always been my real passion. My middle daughter and I get to share this passion. She is a two time national champion at age 10. So we spend hours upon hours in the gym training as an elite gymnasts do. My oldest plays football, basketball, baseball, wrestles and runs track. He does every sport that he can. The youngest does gymnastics too but, also likes soccer. Well this gives you an idea of just how busy. LOL!
