Day 25. Gathering. Bush's Beans Chuck Roast Chili with Savory ...

Gathering.

Coming together.

To me Autumn says ?gather.?

Whether it be your immediate family, or extended, or neighbors and friends. Or strangers.

Autumn?s a different season for those who have college kids, so gathering during this time may vary from home to home.

It may be a Sunday, a week day, whatever you choose, but make this one day a week a special day for your family to come together to enjoy a hearty meal.

Start simple, creating one main dish that?s liked by everyone.

Use your slow cooker if it makes ?the day? more slower paced and easy.

With the recipe I?m sharing today, I?ve prepared the meat the day before in the slow cooker, and then the day of ?gathering,? I reached into my pantry to pair Bush?s Black Beans and Bush?s Cannellini Beans (or Bush?s Great Northern Beans work very well, too) together in to a chili.

A simple gathering of pantry items.

For a simple, robust, hearty Autumn meal.

Easy dinners.

Bringing people together.

Gathering.

Do you have one day a week where you prepare supper for everyone?
