  • a new chili night…steak chili

    Growing up in Texas I have had my fair share of chili.  The traditional chili with beef (no beans) and loaded with spices, turkey chili, white chicken chili and of course chili with beans…but sometimes you just have to take a favorite to the next level.

  • chicken chili? yes, please

    The Hubby LOVES chili.  He loves it so much the very first party we ever had as a married couple (over 10 years ago) he made chili for 30 people with all the toppings…and everyone loved it.  Ever since then we have been making chili for lots of get togethers or for a weekend treat…and this chicken chili is a favorite.  Most of the time we make a traditional chili but every once in a while we change it up a bit, like this steak chili or this lightened-up chili that has quinoa in it…but last week I wanted to change it up even more and make chicken chili.  There is…
