Who needs a Recipe?....Not ME!

For christmas I got a slow cooker from my grandma. Fun! I really wanted one. My first recipe that I tried was chilli. I could say that it was OK. I found it a little bit dry.

Today I felt like having some chilli, only I decided too late to start my slow cooker. Thankfully I took out some ground veal from the freezer this morning. I went online for a recipe for some quick cooking chilli and couldnt really find anything that looked too exciting. I never really use recipes, except for lately because I`ve become bored of my same old meals everyday. So this evening I said forget trying to find a recipe, I could make one up. I scowered my fridge and found half an eggplant, onions, garlic and some mushrooms. Sounds good to me! My final recipe ended up being a roasted eggplant and mushroom, veal and beans chilli, on of a bed of polenta. I must say, it was AMAZING! So much better than the recipe that came with the slow cooker. I think next time I want come chilli, this one wins it hands down. It was so juicy and tasty. MMMMM!!!!! I wouldnt add or change anything. It was perfect and exactly what I felt like eating tonight. Dont you love when that happens. Its so disappointing when you make something you`re excited about and then you go taste it and it leaves something to be desired. Anyways! I feel like writing a cookbook. I think I just might do that. First recipe to go in.....my Chilli!!
