Let's Get Our Grill On With Bobby Flay!

A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who clicked, watched, rated, commented - I appreciate it so much but I didn't get selected for the show. I'm pretty bummed but it was really fun to do and I got back in touch with a bunch of friends from college and many people I hadn't talked to in a long time so all good. I think I'm going to be doing a lot more GF grilling so check back for more recipes. Thanks again!!! Bon appetit, Laura

Super Spicy Super Steelers Super Bowl Chili

Sorry I've been MIA, it's so much easier to pop a note on my facebook than format pics, try to formulate complete sentences, use proper grammar, etc. Yes, officially lazy but I have a few minutes before I head over to my friends J&J for dinner so I thought I'd shoot this off before tomorrow morning.

My friend Doug called this recipe wimpy since I didn't have any scotch bonnets in it but if you are a heat fiend, go ahead and fire away. I prefer not to sear my taste buds off :)

This recipe I adapted from Jacques Pepin's Chili con Carne with Lettuce & Cheese, featured in his latest book More Fast Food My Way. He adapted it from a recipe given to him by the warden at San Quentin Prison in the 60s. I kid you not. And like my childhood inability to color within the lines, I am unable to follow a recipe without a tweak here or there ;) Picture little girl in red pigtails, hands on hips, shouting "you're not the boss of me!" Yep that about sums it up. Anyways, on to the chili...
