Chili Cookoff!

The first party of the year was a success! We had 6 people and 3 chilis to try. The food was easy to throw together since most of the main dish was provided by the guests and the Househusband made ours :) For sides I serverd cornbread muffins, kettlecorn, deer sausage, and brownies. Decorations mostly consisted of tin cans I had saved from our canned goods, signs I had printed, ribbon, $4.50 worth of fabric, and of course the essential drink bucket.

The kettlecorn I bought was by Popcorn Indiana, so tasty!

We had a lot of fun coming up with the prizes. We had four different prizes, Best Chili, Gassiest (a can of beans), Most Unique (red pepper jelly), and Spiciest (Habanero Tabasco Sauce). Below are the winners and their prizes.

Each of the chili's were very different! The first place chili was made with andouille sausage and went great with cornbread. Another chili which won most unique, had grilled veggies in it and was served with crackers with peanut butter and honey on them. The Househusband really went crazy with his "Double E" Chili that consisted of elk and eggplant. Each of the guys did a great job and I can't wait to see what they come up with for next year!
