Crider Chronicles: Our "Award-Winning" Golden Ladle Chili


In case you missed it on our blog.
Have no idea why I didn't take a pic of it before we took it-duh.
Maybe because I wasn't expecting it to win a prize! ;)

We really liked the level of heat in it.
We think it's what other people would consider spicy.
But it wasn't so spicy (to us) that you
couldn't taste all the other flavors/textures.

Here's our tweaks, (in addition to the chili powder one
mentioned on our blog):
we doubled it & instead of using double the pork,
we did half ground pork & half ground turkey.

Everybody seemed to like it.
I think more than half of it was gone.
Would definitely make again.

Here's the story behind the mini cheesy corn meal muffins . . .
because normally, I would've used my go-to Bastian family recipe here.

For some reason or other, we had a whole bag of this
that needed to get used up,
(can't remember what we bought this for!),
so I used the handy recipe on the side!
It was perfect, because I already had all the ingredients on hand.

They were mini because I used my mini muffin tin.
If you're going to do that though, make sure you double the recipe.
That yielded enough to fill the entire mini muffin tin (24),
plus a few leftover regular size muffins (3).
They were cheesy, because I used that variation.

Everybody seemed to like them--didn't have any left to bring home!

As they say, use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without!
