Hey friends❣️

You guys really came through for our first challenge, yay!

Our winner this month is Stephanie, from Virginia. Her Spiced Chili blew us away, and it's featured on the site today!

I absolutely love this chili, it's not hot, just filled with warm aromatic spices that marry together into the most unusual chili I've had in a long time. Bravo Stephanie!

Great ideas from runners-up

1. Becky sent in a super simple chili recipe perfect for beginner cooks and she includes a jar of salsa. There are some amazing salsas on the market today so this is a fun idea for adding flavor.
2. Adele adds a can of pork and beans with tomato sauce.
3. Linda's Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Chili calls for a packet of Ranch Dressing, which Wendy also uses in her chili.
4. Linda's camping friendly Venison Chili Recipe uses Worcestershire sauce and cocoa, which must give it nice depth of flavor.
5. Nancy swears by Jane Brody's veggie packed chili and says it's all about the spice mix: 5 teaspoons brown sugar​
   5 teaspoons chili powder​
   1 tablespoon ground cumin​
   1 tablespoon oregano​
   1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
   1/2 teaspoon coriander​
   1/8 teaspoon ground cloves​
   1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
6. Karen's favorite game day chili calls for Vidalia onions and a good amount of fresh mushrooms.
7. Several of you swear by V8 in your chili.
8. Barbara adds a cup of macaroni to her chili which she says is the perfect comfort food that they share it with friends who are recovering from illness.
9. Nancy uses short ribs in her chili, which I absolutely love.
10. Linda G's Bourbon Old Fashioned Chili recipe in honor of her late mother includes....you guessed it, bourbon and a touch of orange, yum!

Sue Moran I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!
