Menu Monday - Our Turkey Chili

This week's menu looks pretty sad on our calendar due to a lot of action/traveling happening. 

First off, by the time you read this, I'll be in Las Vegas at a business conference.  The conference started Sunday and will go through Wednesday...this leaves my husband to fend for himself and our daughter in the food category for 4 nights.

Our menu this week is basically chili every day that I'm gone.  Thursday evening we're making baked chicken and then Friday - Sunday we are making a trip to visit my husbands family.

At least it's beginning to feel more and more like the fall/cold season, so today I'll be featuring our personal chili recipe.

We love having corn bread with our chili! One thing we do is just utilize the normal jiffy mix and then add in some honey, it really gives that sweet flavor many people enjoy while eating chili. Yum!
