I recently sat down with my mother-in-law and asked her to give me one of her family recipes. I do not know if it is like this in your family, but in ours she has some pretty yummy recipes, and they are all family ones.
She was generous enough to let me share it with all of you. I hope you can enjoy it with your family as much as we do.
Also with these cold winter months, what better way to warm your family up than with a nice hot bowl of chili.
