I woke up Sunday morning hungry, and with the urge to cook.

The urge / my hunger was so great that I threw on shoes and a jacket, didn't even bother to change and headed to the grocery store with no craving in mind.

 Once I walked through those electric sliding doors I knew... I was going to make chili!

With no recipe on hand, and no recipe in mind I set out to grab what I thought a basic chili would need.

So here you go.

 I've never had butter beans, to be honest I thought I was grabbing Cannellini beans, but was too distracted debating with my roommate over weather or not  she could indeed eat an entire DiGiorno pizza. (She can't)

 Not pictured:

Turkey chili

Onions

Salt

Pepper

Paprika

Cumin

Cayenne

Red pepper flakes

Garlic powder

Oregano

Then it was time to eat. My little brother showed me this tortilla heating technique.

It's a time saver, and looks pretty bad ass

 Comer bien mis amigos! 

My friend Gabi came over on Friday for a little cooking, and a lot of eating

Gabs is known for keeping her liquor cabinet well stocked, and well dressed!

This little reindeer was the perfect holiday gift! Thank you!

After a series of nearly 50 text messages we finally settled on naan pizzas 

I had recently acquired some random fridge ingredients and felt it was perfect way to clean house, while making something delicious

 Spread a little garlic olive oil on the naan and were ready to get creative

Our pizza bar:

Tomato Sauce

Basil

Roasted Artichokes

Caramelized Onions

Mozzarella

Goat Cheese

Roasted Peppers

Pepperoni

Parmesan

Pesto

We were serious

 We each made a pizza, and then collaborated on the third.

 (AKA threw on all the ingredients)

 Baked at 350 for about 20 minutes and then BAM

Dinner was served

To top it all off, we added a little balsamic reduction to some of the pizzas

A perfect way to spend Friday night
