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
