Chili Down South

My husband and I live in good ole South Carolina where college football is what you do on Saturday.  ESPN sports center stays on the TV all day and we just do things around the house while football is on…..until our team plays, of course!  So this past Saturday, my Auburn tigers played in their first game of the season and I wanted it to feel like Fall.  I decided to make some chili and have friends over for the game.  I even wore jeans (mind you it was 98 degrees when I walked outside!).  I guess it was just wishful thinking on my part but I am really looking forward to AND wanting some cooler weather that is not so humid.  We cranked down the air conditioner and enjoyed our chili.

Make it this weekend for your favorite football team game.  It really was a HIT!
