Meaty Butternut Squash Chili
I've made a vegetarian version of this recipe a couple of years ago and it turned out very good. This week, I felt like having a meatier version, something to stick to our ribs for all the hard days of work ahead of us. This is a mild chili, suitable for folks that are sensitive to hot spices. For hot chili lovers, toss in your favorite chopped chili pepper. OH! And another thing, I made a larger... More...

The other day, my good neighbor, Randy, handed my husband an unmarked, frozen bag of meat. Randy said, "Tell Jill to make a pot of chili with this!" Naturally, Charlie comes in relaying the message.

This Creamy Carrot Soup is a completely different experience from the Curried Carrot and Apple Soup I cooked up last week. This Creamy Carrot Soup is satisfying much in the same way as the Homemade Creamy Tomato Soup I enjoy so much. It's simple. There's just enough potato in it to mellow that earthy carrot flavor that can be off putting at times. Even though I love carrots, I have to admit... More...
