With the weather getting colder there is nothing I love more than cosy comforting foods. Chilli con carne is definitely high up there as cosy comforting foods go. With a few extra toppings you can dress this up too, making it a treat with grated cheese on top. I also have some ideas for items to serve with your chilli further below. Let’s see how to make this easy chilli con carne.

Easy chilli con carne recipe

This chilli serves six, and it can be kept in the fridge or frozen for a quick, easy and warming meal.

You can mix up some of the vegetables in this recipe to use up whatever you have in the kitchen.

chilli con carne ingredients

To make your chilli you will need:

  • 750g of minced beef
  • 765g of tomato puree
  • 2 tins of kidney beans
  • 1 cup of frozen corn
  • 285g chopped tinned tomatoes
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 red pepper, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon of chilli, seeded and diced
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon of chilli powder
  • 1 teaspoon of cumin
  • 6 – 8 fresh basil leaves
  • Toppings of your choice – here we have spring onions, cheddar cheese, nachos and sour cream

When purchasing your ingredients don’t forget to scan your receipts for cashback.

Instagram post 17876783383479525 I am SO easy to market to. Last week my hair dresser posted a photo on Facebook of a copper balayage and I knew right there and then that I needed it.

I had it done today and I could not be happier with the colours. Perfect for autumn/winter and perfect for a blogger who loves rose gold šŸ’šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø #newhairwhodis #newhair #copper #rosegold #newhaircolour #autumn #winter #balayage #copperbalayage #rosegoldhair #newlook

Instagram post 18069077689160170 How handy would it be to make some extra cash before Christmas? With the house move looming and fighting anxiety I have barely thought about Christmas 2019, but at least I have been side hustling hard.

I have a blog post on how to make £1,000 for Christmas (link in my stories or my bio) but imma quickly share some ideas.

Matched betting - approximately £500 - £1,000

20Cogs - approximately £150 - £200 (check my stories for a £10 welcome bonus if you use my affiliate link)

Online surveys - approx £10 - £60

Declutter and sell - approx £50+

Loads more genuine money making ideas in my blog post.

Instagram post 17844146029764955 AD My husband and I are always talking about how we save the Nectar points we accumulate in order to buy something we need for our new house.

A great hack to share with you after having just purchased our first house together (and we are always on the hunt for ways to save money!), is to share your Nectar account with your partner, family member or housemate. This way, you can earn as many points as we do and pool them together to spend on something you really need or want.

Saving up your Nectar points mean you can get something you want with your points and really does make the saving worth it!

The handy Esso App you can download and connect your Nectar card to. This means you can pay at the pump using the app, earn your Nectar points and be on your way in no time.

Terms and conditions apply - see https://www.esso.co.uk/loyalty-program

Between 5th November 2019 and 26th February 2020, Esso customers can benefit from a Nectar points double up, helping to make the everyday more rewarding for drivers.

For every qualifying purchase of £5 or more on shop items such as milk or snacks at participating Esso Stations, customers will receive double the amount of Nectar points, simply by swiping their Nectar card at the till when they pay.

Instagram post 17918185747358729 I am really struggling with my mental health at the moment. The clock change, waiting forever to complete on the house and SAD have bitten me hard.

So grateful for the NHS - I got a same day appointment and got my Citalopram dose increased. Also grateful for my blog - I haven’t worked since Monday and let me tell you, I’ve needed it. Last month I hit my biggest earning month to date and I’m so glad I can chill a bit now.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better!

Instagram post 17985865258302666 Hands up, who is guilty of savings things for ā€˜best’? I know I am šŸ™‹šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø Maybe you bought yourself a treat that you haven’t yet used, or you received a lovely Christmas gift but you haven’t used it yet because you are saving it for a special occasion. It is November this week - get that used up!

You deserve to use that special item. Burn that expensive candle, use that luxury bubble bath, dig out those fancy shoes. The money is already spent.

What ā€˜saving it for best’ item are you going to try to use this week?

Why is it so hard to find autumn decor in the UK? Everything we have is from America of course.

I feel so much happier in the chapel whilst we wait for our sale to complete.
