A Plea {from the husband}

January 26, 2013

So last week Micah won a baking contest at work. I was honestly surprised and impressed. I’ll share pictures and the award-winning recipe later, but for now he needs your help. Next week his work is having a chili cook-off. If you didn’t know, my husband is one of the most competitive people ever and now that he has tasted victory in the baking department, he wants to win for best chili too.
The problem is we never eat chili. I hate beans, and since most chili recipes call for beans, it’s a dish that’s never made it on the Russum menu rotation.
So Micah asked me to ask YOU for help. Do you have an award-winning chili recipe? An old family recipe you can share? Please leave links below and we will check them out. If he picks your recipe, you can expect a huge shout-out!

    This isn't a link to my blog, or even my own recipe, but this chilli by Nigella Lawson is our absolute favourite. It is easy to make and delicious every single time I promise you.
    Good luck Micah! X

    Girlie I am right there with you we do not have chili in our rotation here at our home either. I hate chili needless to say! I wish him the best of luck in the contest!

    Here is my classic family chili recipe (my dad loves this one):

    This one has fewer beans and a surprisingly nice flavor from sweet potatoes:

Hi. I’m Jen Russum and this blog is where I’ve been sharing narratives of God’s grace for more than a decade now. Some might say “blogs are dead” but I’m waiting for them to come back around like mom jeans and 90s flannel. I enjoy my coffee iced, my summers hot, and my dinner parties long with lots of laughter. I process all of life’s deepest, darkest, and happiest moments by writing essays in my head. When I have the time, some of these essays get typed up and shared here. I’ve always loved to write, and I hope my words bring you joy and encouragement.
