The best I could do was to put a warning note on it and send it to the basement where the gluten lives, in the room of my gluten eating son.

Chili Sunday

Don’t bother Mia there. She’s busy watching the game and waiting for Chili! Last week, Carrie over at Ginger Lemon Girl posted about Chili. It made me hungry for Chili. In my mind, Chili is the perfect game day food. I like to put a big pot on and let [...]
