Katie Claeys Chili was quite the contender
from the kitchen of her dad, Roger Fiscus
Ingredients:
2 lbs burger
2 cans of kidney beans (I usually do one light and one dark; low sodium)
1 qt. of tomatoes (my parents always froze tomatoes growing up, so that's what he uses. I usually buy two cans of no-salt added diced tomatoes)
onion
1/2 green pepper
1/2 red pepper
1 c. ketchup
1 c. water
2 T. cumin
1/2 c. celery
2 T. lemon juice
1 T. brown sugar
1 T. Worcestershire
1 t. Accent
1/2 t. vinegar
1/2 t. dry mustard
2 T. chili powder
crushed red pepper (I'm pretty liberal with this and the chili powder)
Instructions:
Brown burger with diced up onion, red pepper, green pepper, and celery. Drain fat/juices. Add everything but beans. Let simmer; stir often. Add beans last hour. I've done it on the stove top and in a crock pot- both are fine. It freezes well!

Black Peppered-Sugared Almonds
By Jill Oxberger
By Jill Oxberger
Ingredients:
1 lb raw almonds
1/4 c packed brown sugar
2 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp course ground black pepper
1 tsp sea salt
1 egg white
1 tsp water
1 lb raw almonds
1/4 c packed brown sugar
2 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp course ground black pepper
1 tsp sea salt
1 egg white
1 tsp water
Instructions:
Mix sugar and spices in a bowl large enough to hold the almonds and mixture. Whisk the egg white in a separate bowl large enough for the almonds too, then add the water to the whipped egg white then whip again until it's frothy. Coat the almonds in the egg white mixture then drain the excess if necessary. Dump the almonds into the sugar/spices mixture and stir them to coat evenly.
Line a large baking sheet or jelly roll pan with foil, then spray the foil with a non stick Pam type coating. Spread the almonds on the pan in a single layer. Bake at 250 degrees for an hour and you can stir them during that time, but I usually don't. Once out of the oven scrap them off the foil a bit to keep from sticking and let them cool.
