Relaxing Autumn day In My Van (Music, Yoga & Pumpkin Spice Chili)

I don’t think I would ever mix the two but I love chili and I love cinnamon rolls just separate

We just rescued 3 months ago a tiny baby black kitty who our neighbor found on the side of the road. He thought she was a glove... but it was moving!!! She is a mini Lars!!! My daughter ( 21) bottle fed her from prob 2 weeks old when we got her! She is the sweetest, best kitty, ever!! My daughter named her Twyla and she is our baby girl!! We love her so do much!! She sleeps on her back all stretched out it's so funny!! ❤😊❤❤

[@LauraE.9897]

Black cats are the best! They always have a great personality. 🐈‍⬛💜

[@MariaChula12]

A kitty sure can change your life. I haven't had a pet since I was probably 6 year's old, well my youngest daughter, who is 15 now, wanted a kitty. We found the perfect tuxedo cat...We named him Shadow. Hes brought so much peace and happiness to our family we didnt know we needed. Hea a feisty one but loving at the same time. He was only 6 weeks when we got him, the previous owner lied about his age and we didnt ctch her in he lie till we already had him. We kind of worried about him not being with momma so young but hes been great!!! Hes now 5 months and I just love him. ❤

[@Jay-is2jy]

My sister randomly bought me a cat shortly after I found this channel and it turned out to look like Lars as well... she'll be a year old Oct 1st and her name is Cleocatra

[@fredahollinquest8276]

Uy

[@sueward2974]

LOL I LOVE that name!. Black cats are beautiful.

[@sweetmochaqueen]

Rescue the chili by paring it with cornbread and put jalapeno into the cornbread mix or any other spicy pepper since you do like spicy food!

[@shirleyd5212]

I've never heard of chili and cinnamon rolls. Who would have thought? Chili and corn bread is my go to. I always wing it when making chili too

[@madstarr2]

Another chili and cornbread fan here.

[@BluSeven06]

Mine as well

[@carolclover1238]

Yes....cornbread

[@Cakescreates]

Fall is also my favorite. Crisp clean smell, leaves changing color. Just beautiful!

[@johnsnowwww]

He was definitely high lol

[@lilmissshureshotck]

I hate to be the Debbie downer... but please watch Lars when out like that. Eagles/birds of prey are a real issue. I dont want to see anything happen to him. We almost lost one of our Pomeranians that way.

Lars is a Cabbit (cat+rabbit). He's soo cute 🩷

We have a pet Rabbit named Oreo. My daughter named her that bc she's black on top, white on the bottom lol. And yes, I agree, Lars is part rabbit.😂😂

I liked the way he set the bowl down… “I’m really confused… it’s not nasty” 😂😂😂 That cracked me up!

Sure is.

Enjoy!!

[@hrock8081]

For me, Chili is always better the day after, the flavors have to meld.

All soups are better second day. Agreed! 🖤

Id rather have some cornbread with my chili 😅

💯Always… cinnamon roll? No. 😂

The Chilli looks great. I like to eat mine with fritos or tortilla chips, with shredded cheese , lettuce, tomato and sour cream.

[@winterisblu]

Sounds really good!

[@justmetakinsumpics]

Frito chilli pie is 🔥🔥🔥

[@HasteDraftHorsesandMules]

Yes 🙌 I’m glad you’re making chili like I requested. I think your cooking channel would be amazing also sir.

[@mtnewt1]

Totally agree!!! I'd watch for sure. I'm super picky and probably wouldn't try 99.9% of the recipes but I love to watch ppl cook lol 🙌🏾

[@jasminegunter3990]

NO pumpkin spice chili for me. I batch cooked chili 2 weeks ago for freezer meals. Ground chuck seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder and cayenne pepper, corn, diced tomatoes, hot Rotel tomatoes, kidney beans and Mexican hotsuace, cooked in a cast iron skillet.

[@winterisblu]

Sounds great!

It made my eyes hurt watching chili eaten with a cinnamon bun. I'm with you in that I'd eat the chili and THEN the cinnamon as a dessert treat. It's amazing how different cultures and states have their own twist on foods. Lars by the way looked too cute doing the hop-hop. 😊

[@MaryGuaraldo]

Hey Mateo! Fall is my favorite season when I lived on the East coast. The colors and coolness of Fall was something I always looked forward to. When I make chili using stewing beef, I always coat the meat with flour, salt and pepper and fry it up in batches. It thickens the liquid making a nice sauce. I also make a spicy pumpkin chili but I add pumpkin pie spice and a can of pumpkin purée and use ground turkey.

[@mariebernier3076]

Sounds delightful. Love ground turkey.

[@MaryGuaraldo]

I've truly never understood the draw of watching horror movies. For me, scaring myself on purpose is not entertaining.

[@jennifermarengo]

Some people like the adrenaline rush. I’m with you though, scary movies are not for me. I think it’s because I deal with c-ptsd, so I’ve had enough terror.

[@gloriacarter6190]

Cornbread goes better with Chili

[@c.sherman1525]

If I had one Season to choose it would definitely be Spring ❤️

[@iamaprildevone]

I had a list of horror movies a couple of years ago to watch during Halloween. Some oldies but goodies and some new ones. I got to about 15 and it started to mess with me, a little. I started feeling really heavy and down, energy wise. Just protect yourself and be careful with the energy they bring. Love your videos!

[@karen5912]

Yes, that is an open portal. We don't welcome that.

[@yogawithkeigan]

Great reminder

[@iamaprildevone]

@@karen5912 I still love a good horror movie, though. I just have to be very picky about which ones and how often I consume them. My friend told me about "Incantation" and I watched the trailer ... absolutely not! I watched "The Deliverance" because I watched the documentary on that haunting a few years ago. I literally might only watch about one or two actual "horror" movies a year now.

[@Poeticfloetic]

Since I stopped watching I no longer get sleep paralysis so you are right 💯💯💛💚🖤❤️

[@barbarashirland9078]

I love Lars. So fun to watch him. Your instrument was very cool. The food looked great!

[@TJ77790]

Definitely enjoyed this video 🥰… one of your best! Loved seeing Lars romping in the field on a beautiful sunny day leaping like a frog after whatever it was he was chasing! That was comical. Thoroughly enjoyed you playing your thrift store musical instrument find. That was awesome and enlightening. Your chili concoction was another great segment. It was good to see someone not being afraid to stray from recipes and to try something new. Was also happy to see you using your patio roof as an exercise “room”. Another excellent video Mateo. You’re AWESOME! 👏

[@marthasundquist5761]

It's n just them, it is a midwest thing, we had that on our cafeteria for school lunch. I never ate the cinnamon roll in my chili, ate my chili, then ate the cinnamon roll.

[@victoriaj4272]

Thank you for including more of Lars. He reminds me of a family member's pet. I get so much joy every time I see Lars. You are awesome as well. Thank you for posting. Never had chilli with cinnamon rolls. Spring is the one season I would choose.

[@judithsmith4994]

Liked your choices today. The cinnamon rolls were a bit over the top. The chunks of beef was a good alternative to ground beef. Roasted chicken is a great cool weather meal. You can chop up carrots 🥕 onions and potatoes to cook with the chicken. Garlic can go under the chicken skin. Make a great soup with the leftovers. You'll be singing the "Num Num" song over it. Also homemade applesauce is wonderful! Chop up several a them in frozen apple juice. Add lots cinnamon. Good for breakfast and snacks.😋 Fall has arrived! Personally, I love Spring the best! It's always a miracle! The sun is coming back, and the blossoms come out. There's still that chill in the air, which is great for sleeping and the clean air Spring green. There's nothing like it!❤❤❤

Proper insulation is essential because you don't want to be caught without it during the cold months. While having a heater is beneficial, insulation is necessary. Key Facts: 1. Insulate your van before winter. 2. Insulate the ceiling and all areas thoroughly. 3. Proper insulation is essential for winter. 4.
