Goblin Grub Chili
In celebration of the end of the scholastic quarter, my son school puts together a great Fair. Lots of fun activities for the children’s. Great get together for the parents. As we all were abandoned by our little and not so little one’s, the parents had the opportunity to taste some fantastic Chili at the Chili Cook-off . Each years, parents present and serve their favorite recipe of chili. The competition is fierce. The flavors are wonderful. Creativity at is best. Die hard chili lovers are in heaven here. As I did not participate, I am very fortunate that my friends are willing to share their favorite recipes with me and all of you. Today recipe is from my friend Jen S, and as you can see from the pictures below she was having a lot of fun making sure everyone tasted her chili. Her chili was light with the perfect amount of spicy hot bite. The beans were perfectly married with the meat. The peppers, onions, tender and tasty. The spices… just perfect for anyone like me that cannot handle the heat… I like the fact that my taste buds were not killed by spices. The heat exploded in my mouth after I was able to taste all the meat, beans, peppers. Love it and my sentiments were shared by quite a few parents. Jen, thank you so much for sharing your recipe with every one at school, and now, with all of us around the world. So, with no further ado here is Jen’s Goblin Grub. Enjoy!!! Giangi
