National Chili Day


In honor on National Chili Day today I researched a new chili recipe. This one looks pretty darn good and it is good for you. I am making a boat load so we can eat it all the while it continues to snow.

Additional Information
Multi-colored vegetables make this chili delicious and pretty! Great as a snack, or serve with cornbread for a great fall dinner.

This recipe makes enough for 16 hungry eaters! We plan to eat it for dinner tonight and then I will freeze the rest and eat it when Cassie and the kids come this weekend.
