Monday's Daily Recipe

Time to start our busy week... here is an idea for supper tonight. DO NOT be scared of the long list of ingredients.. it's mostly spices. This is a easy and delicious recipe. It is a way to combine two of my favorite comfort foods, chili and spagetti.

On the Menu Tonight : Cincinnati Turkey Chili and Jack Corn Muffins

I actually change this recipe to fit my needs and you can too. Sometimes I add 8oz of sour cream and use cream corn. Any type of cheese like smoked gouda... you get the idea, green onions, etc
