This delicious chili is ready in less than half an hour containing simple ingredients from your pantry for a quick, warming bowl of comfort after a day of playing in a Winter Wonderland.
There's a reason that National Chili Day falls on the 4th Thursday of February. For many of us, February is the coldest month of the year and nothing is better for warming the body and soul than a piping hot bowl of Chili.
I asked the others in the group to offer up Chili recipes so that you, our readers, are prepared for this National Food Holiday. Let's see what they are sharing with you today.........

Nothing is more beautiful than a snow covered landscape, especially if the sun is shining and instead of having to drive to work you have the day off and can go out and enjoy it. Then when you come in from your walk, or skiing or sledding or snowmobiling, you can warm up with a nice, hot bowl of chili. Life is very, very good.......
We have lots of time for playing this week. We have some errands to run during the day but no night time plans until Friday when we join our Dive Family for pool night. I am sharing my Weekly Menu with you. What's on your menu this week?
