Chili Wins Again

My chili recipe just took another award - at a Marine Corps League

Detachment/Dixie State University Veterans Club chili cook off. I took a 6 qt. crock pot full (two batches) and there was just one serving left at evening's end. My first place prize was a teddy bear in a Marine Corps uniform. Perfect. I've worked on this recipe for many, many years, getting it just right. During the years we lived in Pasadena and Arcadia, California, our kids would sleep out overnight at the Rose Parade, come home to chili, salad and Northwoods Inn garlic cheese bread, stretch out in the great room and watch the Rose Bowl with only one eye open. My son thinks maybe I should rename it "New Year's Chili." This is the recipe's second chili cook off award so it's a keeper - and no, I don't share the recipe. Family secret.

Non-Dairy Potato Soup

I'm planning to try this non-dairy potato soup. Dairy was the only thing holding me back from enjoying potato soup. Having discovered how good mashed cauliflower is when used as "mashed potatoes," I think this soup will be a winner. It's from Serene's House of Yumm! Me, I'd leave off the bacon and cheddar and maybe add some chopped green onions.
