I thought I would share a favorite recipe for cold days like we will have this weekend. I hope you enjoy this chili recipe as much as we do. Serve over brown rice cooked in chicken broth (preferably homemade). Of course it tastes best when using all organic ingredients!

Guess what I had for lunch?

I happened to see Mary's recipe this morning and immediately began putting it together. About a half hour later I was stirring the entire mixture. My wife ground up some organic corn and whipped up a batch of corn meal muffins.

I highly recommend this easy, nutritious recipe.
