I just made this chili yesterday for a chili cookoff at our church. Out of 11 entries, I tied for 1st place! This chili seriously has a fantastic flavor. I made a couple of changes: In stead of 2 lbs of ground chuck, and 1 lb. of sausage, I used 3 lbs. of chuck roast and I cubed it up into small cubes. Also, instead of green pepper, I used 2 red peppers. Instead of green chili peppers (jalepenos), I used 2 chipotle in adobo (canned) very hot - do not use more than 2 - it has a very smokey rich deep hot flavor. Instead of beef bouillon, I used "better than bouillon" - it's in the soup isle in a jar - gives a more rich flavor. Instead of cayeene (because I didn't have any) I just put a few extra dashes of tobasco sauce. Other than that, I went exactly by the recipe. Fantastic! People said that the cubed beef set this apart from all the others who used ground beef. A real crowd pleaser, especially with the "manly men" who like flavorful chili. Caution: The chiptole in adobo are seriously hot.

I'm not a huge oatmeal cookie fan - but my husband is. I thought this cookie was fantastic. The best of both worlds: the healthful benefits of oatmeal, and the rich buttery taste of shortbread. Yum!

Really spicey and good! Reminds me of the chutney at our favorite Indian Restaurant. I left out the tomatoes and the raisins, and it made a great crunchy alternative to regular old cranberry sauce.
