  2. I have never put squash into chili, but it would give a nice flavour. Such a good comfort meal during these nippy days of winter.

  3. I love a new chili idea and I am thinking this one would probably do well to mulitply for a large group.

  6. Funny thing - the flavour of the week on CBC radio this morning was Chili and they talked about all the versions people make. This one sounds very good.

  8. I really like the squash idea. Phil really does not like beans and I think he would like this one a lot better than what I usually make.

  9. The first time I had chicken or turkey chili was at an airport and it was so good ... I've enjoyed making it without a real recipe ... and your recipe gives me some more ideas of what to put in. It looks wonderful.
