Being a regular reader, you know that I don’t usually post recipes that match up with “current” events. Well, that may change, if I can get my cooking act together! HA!
It has been one of those days. I have been wasting the afternoon, looking through food blogs, peeking at Tastespotting, and what have I found? Great Super Bowl ideas. So, I thought I should share some of our favorites, as well as some favorites I have just discovered.
We, okay, Lenny made this hearty chili last week. It is so good, that I wish I had a bowl of it now, instead of the diced up pears I am eating. This chili recipe is full of meat; two kinds to be exact, as well as three kinds of beans. All that is left to make this recipe complete is your favorite chili toppings, icy cold beers and some killer margaritas. Guarantee if you make this for your Super Bowl party this weekend, you will be the star chili maker. It is really rock’n (did I just say that).
