Really Quick and Tasty Chili

This is not your typical everyday chili so I must warn you before you start that if you are expecting a slow roasted chili that cooks all day then this is not the chili for you. This chili might not even fit into the typical chili recipe column, but regardless it is a chili. In our house we are not crazy about beans so this chili works out great and we garnish it to dress it up a bit so it almost comes out more like a party dip than a dinner, but dont let that fool you. This chili is filling!

Servings: 6
Ingredients:
1-2 Ibs ground beef (substitute according to diet and taste)
onion diced
Jarred Jalepenos (or fresh, remember this is an easy meal)
1 large can Diced Tomatoes
1 small can Tomatoes and Chilies
1 pack - Chili-O powder Chili Mix (Yellow Package made by Frenchs)
1 Package of Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 Bag of Lime Tostitos

1. Brown your ground beef in a frying pan/skillet.
2. Chop your onions (while meat is browning).
3. Once meat is browned, drain and return to skillet.
4. Now add both cans of tomatoes (diced and tomatoes with chilies)
5. Now add the Chili-O mix.
6. Turn your heat to medium or just below half power and let the chili boil.
7. You will start to see the liquid that boils up turn an orange color. Mix that liquid back down and around the mixture.
8. This recipe can cook for a good 10-15 minutes and it is considered done and can be removed from the heat or you can let it simmer. Regardless it will taste the same as cooking times do not really make a difference with taste.
9. Now scoop this chili up into your serving bowls and top it with the onions, jalapenos, and cheese. Mix it all up so the cheese melts and you have yourself one tasty chili! Eat with a spoon or use those lime chips to scoop it out.

This recipe is so packed with flavor and is so easy to make that it is sure to make the weekly rounds at your dinner table as it has ours. You can add your own garnished if you like including beans if you absolutely have to have them. I would even recommending taking this recipe to get togethers as a dip. Enjoy!

Here are some random, but important tips, tricks, and advice to increase your productivity and business efficiency to become more successful:

Email subjects: Always include a descriptive subject line. Important emails often get saved. People normally search through old emails by the description in the subject line. For example, "Important Update" would be too vague but "Attendance Numbers For Las Vegas Sales Conference" is an example of a perfectly descriptive subject line.

Voicemail messages: Always leave your name and phone number at the beginning and end of all voicemail messages, especially if you are cold calling. The easiest way to not get a call back is to leave your name and phone number at the end of a five minute voicemail. What if the recipient of your message gets distracted just as you are saying your phone number. Do you think he will sit through the entire five minute message again just to hear you phone number? NO!

Hire a personal assistant or concierge service: Personal assistants can do you menial tasks while you do your important day-to-day work. Personal assistants can do tasks such as booking meetings, making travel arrangements, event planning, car washes, laundry, taking messages, etc.

Use Google Alerts: Google Alerts can email you news on topics that interest you or are important to your business or industry. This way you get the right news right away. Best of all, Google Alerts is free.

Do priority tasks at peak hours: It is known that your energy levels are higher at the beginning of the week (Monday and Tuesday) and in the morning. Schedule these times to do your most important work tasks, the ones that require the most attention. Schedule your menial tasks during the other times.

Get an ergonomic chair: Purchase a comfortable, ergonomic chair, especially if you are a nine-to-fiver that sits in front of a computer workstation all day. Your back and arms need to be physically supported to be able to spend a full day at your desk and be productive.

Use you digital camera: You can use your digital camera to photograph documents rather than take notes or make a photocopy. This is especially useful if a copier machine is not available. A digital photograph can be uploaded and saved in your computer as an image. It is just as useful as a stored document and can be printed when necessary.

Don't bring the office home: Too many workers bring work home. Separate your work life from your home life and youll be more relaxed and alert; you'll get a better nightly sleep and feel more refreshed each and every new workday. This will also reduce stress. To further help reduce stress try cognitive relaxation therapies such as meditation.

Start meetings on time: Never wait for latecomers to show up for a meeting. And, don't "recap" when they do show up. This wastes yours and everyone else's time. Recapping wastes the time of everybody that did show up to the meeting on time. And, it rewards tardiness. Just keep going and get on with the business meeting.

Wear a name tag at business networking functions: Wearing a tag with your name, company, and position allows others who may be seeking your services an opportunity to spot you and make an introduction. You should want to make it as easy as possible for people to make connections with you at business networking functions.

Although golf seems to be a spectator sport that plays better on television, golf enthusiasts should go experience a live event at least once.

Aspiring golfers will always want to go see how the pros do it when a professional golf tour comes to their area.

Purchasing Tickets. Most professional events allow you to purchase tickets on a per-day basis, or sell ticket packages for the duration of the event. For most PGA Tour, LPGA and Champions Tour events, expect to pay around $30 for a single day ticket, and around $75 for a four-day pass.

If you wish to attend a Nationwide Tour Event, single-day tickets cost about $10, with weeklong event packages in the $30 range. Major tournaments will likely cost a little more to attend.

Always check with the organizers of your chosen event to clarify what you can and cannot bring to the course with you (esp. refreshments, chairs and cameras). Backpacks are usually allowed as long as they are carrying towels, sunscreen and clothing.

Generally, you will want to travel light, since it will be a long day, and you will likely be walking several miles. Dress comfortably, protect yourself from the sun with sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen. Parking and Accommodations.

Again, you should check with the event regarding parking. All the professional golf events have websites that can answer frequently asked questions.

Because many country clubs and golf courses that host professional events are located in suburban neighborhoods,parking may be limited.

Field or roadside parking may be available, but in many cases, spectators will need to park at a remote location and ride a shuttle to the golf course. The tournament website should also list nearby hotels that will likely provide shuttle service to and from the course.

Good Manners. Because golf is a gentleman's game, it should be respected as such. Silence is golden, and spectators should not talk while a golfer is preparing to swing, take pictures during a golfer's swing, or talk to a golfer in between his or her shots.

Stay outside of designated boundaries, do not touch a ball that has been hit into the gallery, and although there may be a mad scramble to surround a miss hit ball, use common sense to avoid standing in an area between the golfer's miss hit ball and his next target.

If you don't follow the proper spectator etiquette you could find yourself expelled from the course without a refund.So just go along, enjoy watching the professionals play and have a fun day out.
