If you're like me, there is no such thing as MILD CHILI. This one will test your wits and your pallet. It's perfect for a game-day chili or a family meal over spaghetti or your favorite pasta. BEWARE: If you're a tender foot, this heat could be a little much for you. But the taste is amazing! #mycookbook #chili

I LOVE to cook and create. I tend to be heavy on spice and the savory dishes and I love making hot sauces and salsas which are now part of our new quick-service Mexican kitchen and taco truck business. Marinading and smoking meats is also one of my favorite hobbies as well.
