Have you noticed the slight nip in the air, the dry and yellowed leaves more and more prevalent on the ground. This means fall in on the way, my favorite time of year. The 
changing colors, the golden light in the morning, pumpkins and of course a heartier fare. Chili is always a big seller at my house. It is easy and quick and really tasty. We like to serv
e ours with the salad on top of the bowl of chili. I know it sounds funny, but it really tastes good.
